Back in 1922, when Howard Carter first smashed his way into the
tomb of long-dead Egyptian King Tutankhamun, the guttering candle
in his hand illuminated a scene of unimaginable splendour. “Can
you see anything?” asked Lord Carnarvon.“Yes! Wonderful
things!” responded a breathless Carter. Fast forward just over a
century, and any adventurer opening a copy of Viz - The Barber’s
Pole will be similarly astounded by the comedy gold they will find
haphazardly piled up within its covers. Because just like the tomb
of an Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, the 226 pages within
its stout and glossy covers are packed with priceless treasures.
It’s the sort of 24-carrot comedy gold that has made Viz the
country’s fourth* or fifth** favourite humorous magazine (* **
possibly sixth) for well over four decades… * Edge-of-seat
Adventures: Jack Black and His Dog Silver, Who’s Who in a
Medieval Plague Village, Motorhead’s Christmas Adventure, and Bad
Bob the Randy Wonderdog. * Shocking scandals about your
favourite showbiz stars, Scotch eggs, Deepfake Porn, Tony Blair,
and your chance to become a Crypto-Billionaire. * Cartoons: The Fat
Slags, Sid the Sexist, Biffa Bacon, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Johnny
Fartpants, The Real Ale Twats, Roger Mellie, and Raffles the
Gentleman Thug * Readers’ letters and Top Tips, spoof ads,
quizzes, games, things to cut out and make, and much more.
Obviously, at this point we would like to point out that, unlike
King Tut’s burial place, there is no real evidence that Viz has
ever been the subject of a deadly curse, placed upon it three
thousand years ago by a sinister, hooded priest of the God Thoth.
And we consider it very unlikely indeed that anyone who dares to
break open the cover of Viz - The Barber’s Pole will simply drop
dead from unexplained causes - as Lord Carnarvon did a year to the
day after breaking the seal on Tutunkhamun’s tomb. Sorry,
no refunds.
