The Guards Parcel is a steaming 226-page hardback compilation of the most fragrant cartoons, articles, letters and Top Tips from a whole year of Viz - Britains funniest* magazine (*manufacturers estimate).
Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Vizs own dictionary of slang, Rogers Profanisaurus.
Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (the Man on the Telly) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Vizs unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comics self-effacing slogan that its not as funny as it used to be, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
