Mike Bakaty in Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies

Written By Mehai Bakaty

From 1974 to 1995, the Village Voice printed Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies, a documentary-style comic strip based on the overheard conversations of the colorful, creative, and diverse inhabitants of New York.

In “Indelible Impressions”, Renate and Tom are introduced by Mike via photos of their tattoos. This story takes place in the mid-1980s, when Mike was working from his studio on the Bowery.
