FUNNY PAGES

When Robert, a high school student and aspiring cartoonist, rejects the comforts of suburban life, dropping out and and leaving home, he finds an unwilling teacher and unwitting friend in Wallace — a former low-level comic artist — in this bitingly funny and playfully twisted coming-of-age story.

Reviews
“The young director Owen Kline packs worlds of cringe into Funny Pages — shame, disgust, embarrassment, sweaty sexual panic, acres of pustules — it’s all here in this terrific, tonally flawless feature debut.”
“Funny Pages does many things right, many of those things mixing pain and misery with the humor of pain and the punchlines of misery.
“Funny Pages would program well alongside Crumb or American Splendor, spiritually connected films about difficult personalities that weren’t afraid to get a little dirty themselves.”
