Joanie
People that were socially conscious during the seventies will have no trouble understanding the point of this book, but the latest generation will have no idea what most of the cartoons mean. The book …

Far Side Gallery 3 Hardcover Special Sales
In the foreword, noted zoologist Stephen Jay Gould comments on how popular the Gary Larson cartoons are with biologists. When reading the book, it is easy to see why; Larson does an excellent job in his …

The Chickens Are Restless
The spectrum of mental craziness goes from the heavily medicated in a padded room to the person that does nothing worse than pick their nose in public. For all of those actions on the less serious end …

Ballard Street
Great cartoonists have to be a little bit sick in the good sort of way. They somehow have to have that extra twist or demented neural pathway that allows them to look at situations in life and express …

Random Acts Of Management:A Dilbert Book
To most people that read and chuckle over the Dilbert comic strip, it is an act equivalent to whistling past a graveyard. Clueless management, phony numbers, insecure workers and poor quality products …

MARMADUKE
When I was in school, Marmaduke books were a challenge to the Snoopy books by Charles Schultz in terms of which were more popular. Ironically, the boys favored Marmaduke while the girls favored Snoopy, …

Mad Spy Vs Spy: The All New Secret on File
