1979 was a year of momentous events. In Britain, it began with the
so-called Winter of Discontent, as rubbish piled high in the
streets and the dead went unburied. Later, guerillas stormed the US
Embassy in Tehran, Margaret Thatcher entered Downing Street, and
Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose while on trial for stabbing
his girlfriend to death. Elsewhere, murderous dictator Saddam
Hussein rose to power in Iraq, America's Three Mile Island nuclear
plant went into meltdown, and there was an anthrax epidemic in
Russia following an accident at a biological weapons plant. But
it's all swings and roundabouts, because 1979 also saw the first
issue of Viz Comic going on sale. And now, with a rousing brass
fanfare to celebrate its 40th year as the country's most flatulent
magazine, Viz is puffing out its cheeks to release its latest
annual - The Trumpeter's Lips. Within the 226 pages of this
lavishly produced hardback you will find the very best bits from
issues 262-271, including * Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the
Sexist, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Roger Mellie, Eight Ace, Buster Gonad,
Big Vern and many, many more * Informative features: Let's Go
Dogging!, Secrets of the White House Shite House, How Did Henry
VIII Mow His Lawn?, Who's Who at a Car Boot Sale, and A Day in the
Life of a Model Railway Enthusiast * Edge-of-your-seat adventures:
In Search of the Giant Squid of Sumatra, The Crown Jewels Mystery,
Wally Walton's Emergency Scorpion Squad and Wall to Wall Carpet
Warehouse, Ballet Nurse on a Pony, Pip of the Peloton, and Bad Bob
the Randy Wonder Dog * More articles, spoof ads, Readers' Letters
and Top Tips than you could shake a really big stick at Just like
our rubbish and dead were piled up in the streets four decades ago,
Viz - The Trumpeter's Lips will be piled up in shops and internet
retailers this Christmas, guaranteeing a "Winter of This Content"
(as specified above) for everyone.
Die geliefde dominee Barend Vos se sketse oor die lewe van ’n predikant en sy gesin in ’n plattelandse gemeente het tot op hede in vyf bundels verskyn. Dié sketse verskyn die afgelope tien jaar elke maand in die tydskrif LIG, met illustrasies deur Fred Mouton.
In Liefdegroete, Grootseun word ’n dertigtal van Vos se Grootseun-stukke wat die afgelope jare in Lig verskyn het, byeen gebring as keur van die meer as 100 wat sedert sy laaste versameling verskyn het. Elke rubriek word aangebied as ’n brief wat deur “Grootseun” geskryf word aan sy ouers. Die sketse het meestal ’n sterk humoristiese aanslag en gefokus op ’n plattelandse kerkgemeenskap waarvolgens “Grootseun” die Jongdominee van die gemeente is. Die ruimte is dus plattelands, kerklik en geskryf met ’n deernisvolle aanbod wat eie is aan Vos se skryfstyl.

Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting
plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent
Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell
was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he
became increasingly concerned about the impact of development,
pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The
Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way
ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues
are in the mainstream and have become a global priority. Although
the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking
Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to
convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He
also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress.
Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society
was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and,
as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the
artist.
In "We Learn Nothing," satirical cartoonist Tim Kreider turns his
funny, brutally honest eye to the dark truths of the human
condition, asking big questions about human-sized problems: What if
you survive a brush with death and it doesn't change you? Why do we
fall in love with people we don't even like? How do you react when
someone you've known for years unexpectedly changes genders?
With a perfect combination of humor and pathos, these essays,
peppered with Kreider's signature cartoons, leave us with newfound
wisdom and a unique prism through which to examine our own chaotic
journeys through life. These are the conversations you have only
with best friends or total strangers, late at night over drinks,
near closing time.
This edition also includes the sensationally popular essay "The
Busy Trap," as seen in the "New York Times."
This last year has been one of great turmoil as wars, epidemics and
extreme climate events have ravaged the globe. Sometimes it has
felt as if the old certainties that have shored up our worldview
for so long are being swept away in an unstoppable torrent of
disaster, chaos, and disarray. But one thing has stolidly and
steadfastly resisted the foaming tides of time: Viz. No matter what
cataclysms and catastrophes lay waste to our fragile planet, the
potty-mouthed comic's loyal readers know they can expect an annual
packed full of stuff about toilets, second-rate celebrities and
unfeasibly large testicles to take their mind off oncoming
Armageddon. And this year - as Viz's latest annual The Zookeeper's
Boot goes on sale - is no exception to that rule. A stout and
glossy 226-page hardback, The Zookeeper's Boot is stuffed with the
hilarious stuff 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 to the
Future, The Titanic Mystery, The Death of Nelson and Bad Bob the
Randy Wonderdog * Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, Biffa
Bacon, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Johnny Fartpants, The Real Ale Twats and
Roger Mellie * Readers' letters and Top Tips, spoof ads, quizzes,
games, Roger's Profanisaurus and much more So this Christmas, let
The Zookeeper's Boot tread its muck across your festive threshold
(and those of all your friends, relatives and acquaintances),
spreading its merry bouquet wherever it goes.
Soldiers disguised as a herd of cows, cork bath mats for troops
crossing streams and a tank with a piano attachment for camp
concerts are just some of the absurd inventions to be found in this
book of cartoons designed to keep spirits up during the Second
World War. These intricate comic drawings poke gentle fun at both
the instruments of war and the indignity of the air-raid shelter in
Heath Robinson's inimitable style.
