Barry Ween

Oni Press. Written and drawn by Judd Winick.

The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius (3-issue mini). [From Oni Press: Meet Barry Ween, the smartest living human. What does a ten-year-old boy do with a 350 I.Q.? Any thing he wants. Cranky, egotistical, arrogant and foul-mouthed, Barry in general wants to conduct his experiments and be left alone, but it never seems to work out. Hurdles that Barry must outmaneuver range from time warps, to art thieves, to accidentally turning his best friend into a dinosaur.]
The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 2.0 (3-issue mini). [From Oni Press: Barry Ween is every boy's fantasy personified. His intellect is beyond any that has existed before. In his presence, Einstein looks like a moron. Working in the secret lab in the back of his house, Barry slowly inches towards dominating the world, and he would, too, if the laws of chaos weren't so strongly enforced. Protecting obnoxious aliens seeking asylum, getting transported to the pedophilic old west, being kidnapped by bungling government agents - it's all par for the course with Barry. It's tough being ten years old and smarter than everyone else, but no one is going to attack the task with as much gusto as Barry Ween. A hilarious experiment mixing mad scientist movies, the Little Rascals, and words little kids aren't supposed to say.]
Monkey Tales (Monkey Tales 1-3). [From Oni Press: Barry Ween is back with his third collection of hilarious comic book stories! And this time, he's bringing monkeys! As you may know, Barry Ween is the world's smartest human being. His big brain, as his best friend Jeremey calls it, has a limitless capacity for knowledge. Better yet, Barry has no problem putting that knowledge to use. That's pretty cool when you consider the fact that he's only ten years old. Unfortunately, when you have that kind of smarts, trouble is nearly a foregone conclusion - and boy howdy, does Barry get in trouble! Giant, talking gorillas from other dimensions; drunken, smelly clans of Bigfeet; and a germ-filled monkey looking to cause the next outbreak - these are things that Barry has just come to accept as normal. Heck, compared to such frightening childhood rites of passage as girls and the first school dance, Barry would take all three scenarios without blinking. The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius 3: Monkey Tales comes packed full of laughs from everyone's favorite foul-mouthed super-brain. A must for any humor connoisseur.]
Gorilla Warfare (Monkey Tales 4-6). [From Oni Press: Barry Ween is back in his biggest adventure yet! For the uninitiated, Barry Ween is the smartest boy the world has ever known - a position that certainly has its perks. What other ten-year-old boy has unlimited access to cutting edge technology, hidden ancient secrets, and real nude photos of celebrities? But, it's not all cool gadgets and lingerie, Barry has to contend with mutated babysitters, talking gorillas, and a weird alternate dimension with a strangely familiar warrior woman. Gorilla Warfare sees Barry's massive intellect put to the test as he struggles to get himself and his best friend Jeremy home from a primitive world filled with barbarian hordes, ancient prophecies and a manipulative ape god!]
