Owners of this edition will receive access to non-DRM ebook versions of every book in the series--for free The Definitive Brother Juniper is the culmination of The Brother Juniper Rejuvenation Project. This 888-page hardcover (6.14" x 9.21") contains every single cartoon from all eight of the books in the Brother Juniper series. The "Brother Juniper" comic strip was syndicated in newspapers for thirty years and, at its peak, ran in more than 150 dailies world-wide. The comic, created by a seventy-one-year member of the Secular Franciscan Order, received an unprecedented cross-cultural response and was the only religious-themed comic strip to garner international syndication. The Brother Juniper Rejuvenation Project has done pixel-level remastering of the eight-book series using the highest caliber archival materials in order to present Brother Juniper with a degree of quality never before seen. Also, the Extended Editions supply readers with a breadth of supplementary content that traditional paper publishers are unable to produce. The creator, Father Justin 'Fred' McCarthy sums up the timeless appeal of Brother Juniper: "Take someone from the Middle Ages, put him in a modern setting and you have something funny right there. He's Catholic with a small 'c'. He's always trying to help people but always slipping on a banana peel. Characters like Brother Juniper, and Charlie Brown, lose the battle but win the war."

Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the author Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the wilful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets! Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly, seethe with envy at the paragon of creative productivity! Revenge of the Librarians contains even more murders, drubbings and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories, Baking For Kafka or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld.

Milt Gross (1895-1953), a Bronx-born cartoonist and animator, first found fame in the late 1920s, writing comic strips and newspaper columns in the unmistakable accent of Jewish immigrants. By the end of the 1920s, Gross had become one of the most famous humorists in the United States, his work drawing praise from writers like H. L. Mencken and Constance Roarke, even while some of his Jewish colleagues found Gross' extreme renderings of Jewish accents to be more crass than comical.

Working during the decline of vaudeville and the rise of the newspaper cartoon strip, Gross captured American humor in transition. Gross adapted the sounds of ethnic humor from the stage to the page and developed both a sound and a sensibility that grew out of an intimate knowledge of immigrant life. His parodies of beloved poetry sounded like reading primers set loose on the Lower East Side, while his accounts of Jewish tenement residents echoed with the mistakes and malapropisms born of the immigrant experience.

Introduced by an historical essay, Is Diss a System? presents some of the most outstanding and hilarious examples of Jewish dialect humor drawn from the five books Gross published between 1926 and 1928--"Nize Baby," "De Night in de Front from Chreesmas," "Hiawatta, Dunt Esk," and "Famous Fimmales"--providing a fresh opportunity to look, read, and laugh at this nearly forgotten forefather of American Jewish humor.

An irreverent look at psychoanalytic practice"On the surface, No Marchevsky has written a comical cartoon book, but as one allows oneself to revel in the stereotypes, we realize that he has in fact brilliantly captured some of the more perverse, sadistic, and narcissistic interpretative comments still rendered by so many contemporary mental health practitioners. This book should certainly be required reading for every trainee in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, but above all, it should be studied at length by qualified practitioners so that we may examine the ossified strategies that we use in practice, often beyond our awareness." -- Brett Kahr, Winnicott Clinic Senior Research Fellow in Psychotherapy, Regent 's College, London

A fifth collection of classic Peanuts newspaper comic strips features 248 daily strips from 1955-1958 and feature Snoopy, perhaps Peanuts most popular character, certainly when it comes to cainines! This book is a facsimile edition of the fifth Peanuts collection originally published back in 1958 by the Clarke, Irwin & Company, Ltd of Toronto, Canada. This collection of 248 daily Peanuts newspaper strips that appeared between 1955 -1958 focuses on, perhaps the most famous character in the Peanuts universe, Charlie Brown's Beagle, Snoopy. Whether he's chasing snow flakes, doing impersonations or just dancing his world famous happy jig, things are always going to a little sillier when Snoopy's around. The strip's bitter-sweet humour and child-like innocence helped to cement the Peanuts comic strip's popularity and secure its reputation as a true, one-of-a-kind, timeless classic.

This work features cartoons by David Allan, chairman of Mountain Rescue Council (England) and text by Judy Whiteside, editor of "Mountain Rescue News" - the official national magazine for Mountain Rescue. David Allan, FRCS, said: I have been involved with mountain rescue in a number of roles for a little over thirty years. During that time I have come to respect the people who provide the service for their commitment, their skills, and their capacity to endure. However, I have also come to believe that perhaps the most essential requirement for a successful mountain rescue team member is a sense of humour and it is in recognition of this that this book is produced. I must pay tribute to the excellent book Mountain Rescue by Bob Sharp and Judy Whiteside which I have parodied and used as a source of ideas.

Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist offers the first critical appraisal of the work of Marie Duval (Isabelle Emilie de Tessier, 1847-1890), one of the most unusual, pioneering and visionary cartoonists of the later nineteenth century. It discusses key themes and practices of Duval's vision and production, relative to the wider historic social, cultural and economic environments in which her work was made, distributed and read, identifing Duval as an exemplary radical practitioner. The book interrogates the relationships between the practices and the forms of print, story-telling, drawing and stage performance. It focuses on the creation of new types of cultural work by women and highlights the style of Duval's drawings relative to both the visual conventions of theatre production and the significance of the visualisation of amateurism and vulgarity. Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist establishes Duval as a unique but exemplary figure in a transformational period of the nineteenth century. -- .
