I don’t know why you’re all so upset. I’m sorry if there’s some “other event” that you were all more excited about that’s apparently also ha
My latest for McSweeney's. "Yes, if there’s something other than human chess that people call 'the big game,' I’m simply not familiar with it."
I'm reading some short humor for the holiday edition of Some Fun Lines! This lineup is truly stacked, you won't want to miss it. Snag those tix here: https://www.caveat.nyc/events/some-fun-lines-a-satire-and-humor-showcase-12-14-2025

Pick up a copy at your local library or order one from your book/comic retailer of choice!
Pierre La Police's 'Masters of the Nefarious: Mollusk Rampage' is a brilliantly absurdist comic from New York Review Comics.
Yet ANOTHER great review of Masters of the Nefarious: Mollusk Rampage! "Such is the captivatingly absurd brilliance to be found in its pages that it instantly leaves the reader hoping that this is simply the first in a series of La Police offerings from NYRC."
Don't forget to snag a copy!
The author of Masters of the Nefarious talks to Luke Burns.
I did an interview with Pierre La Police for The Comics Journal. Get to know more about the artist behind the pseudonym! (But not his real name or true identity.)

More great press for MASTERS OF THE NEFARIOUS. This starred review from Library Journal calls it "a thrillingly unique blend of deadpan humor and surreal silliness that is both uproarious and evocative of a fascinating, singular vision."
You can, of course, pick up a copy now at your book/comic retailer of choice: https://bookshop.org/p/books/wranglers-of-the-nefarious-mollusk-rampage-pierre-la-police/20172074?ean=9781681378343

Masters of the Nefarious got a great review in The Comics Journal!
"It’s strange and wonderful, terrifically funny, and largely unlike anything else coming out of the scene at the moment... Some of the panels are as transcendent as Goya and as funny as a random still from Pee Wee’s Playhouse."
What more do you need! Go snag a copy from your bookstore/comic shop of choice.

I had a great time chatting about my translation of MASTERS OF THE NEFARIOUS with the very funny writer, Evan Allgood!
He had a ton of great questions about the book--I hope you'll give the interview a read.

I’m very excited to announce that a book I translated for NYRB’s comics imprint is hitting stores on March 12th, and is available to pre-order now!
It’s Masters of the Nefarious, a cult classic absurd comedy, and a satire of adventure and mystery stories, about twin paranormal investigators (and their best friend, Fongor).
The writer and artist, who goes by the pseudonym Pierre La Police, is a very cool guy. His real name is unknown, no pictures of him are publicly available, and in addition to his comics, he also does a lot of work for galleries and art exhibitions.
If you pick up a copy, drop me a line and let me know!
Learn the process of writing short humor pieces like the ones in McSweeney's and The New Yorker. Info about titles, common pitfalls, & more!
I'm doing an Intro to Short Humor workshop for the UCB training center… TONIGHT!
The workshop is designed to very quickly impart the essentials of short humor writing and give you the tools to start working on your own drafts.
(And if you can't make it tonight, you can buy a ticket and get access to the recording of the event for the next week!)
Scriptulated!, the new comedy podcast created by me and James Folta, just premiered at the Tribeca Festival, and you can listen to it right here!
The show is a lightly-scripted, heavily-improvised comedy podcast where each week, a new guest goes on a hilarious adventure through a different movie genre.
In the pilot episode, Peter Kim stars in the improvised Western, Rio Rawhide. Will he save the town and reconcile with his long-lost brother? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Got a new piece, co-written with the great Marina Tempelsman, up on McSweeney’s today! In it, Yoda tries to tell five simple jokes and fails miserably. Give it a read.

Very excited to announce that the pilot of Scriptulated!, the podcast James Folta and I have been working on, is going to be premiering as part of the Tribeca Festival!
We worked with a truly terrific cast of improvisors and we're really proud of how the episode turned out. You'll be able to listen in June once the festival starts, so start getting hyped NOW (but not so hyped that it becomes unsustainable)!
