Of course you love being a parent. But sometimes, it just sucks. I
know. I'm Amber Dusick and I started my blog Parenting: Illustrated
with Crappy Pictures because I needed a place to vent about the
funny (and frustrating) day-to-day things that happened to me as a
parent. Turns out, poo is hilarious! At least when you're not the
one wiping it up. This book won't make your frustrating moments any
less crappy. But these stories about my Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy and
my husband, Crappy Papa, will hopefully make you laugh. Because
you're not alone. And sometimes the crappiest moments make the best
memories. Parenting is wonderful! And also, well, you know. 'The
drawings aren't very good, Mama.' -Crappy Boy, age 5

Get 'Em Laughing. and Bring the house down!
Written by sex educator and body-positivity advocate Ruby Rare, Sex
Ed is the practical and fun guide to sex that you've always wanted
- but never known how to ask for. This is the information you
should have been taught at school: a no-holds-barred roadmap that
covers everything from how the brain is the most important sex
organ and how to communicate what you want to yourself and a
partner, all the way down to the messy stuff - solo sex, orgasms,
touching, kissing, blow jobs, cunnilingus, anal play, lube, toys,
kegels. After all, sex education shouldn't start and end with
putting a condom on a banana.
Thelwell really understood the English countryside, its animals and
people, and appraised with sympathetic eye both horses and the
horsey. That is why his drawings adorn the studies of some of the
fiercest Master of Fox Hounds in the country as well a being sure
pin-up material in many Pony Club Members' dens. The angels in
Angels on Horseback are children but there is plenty here about
their parents. Both for readers of Punch who knew Thelwell, and
those who did not meet him before, this book is a savoury at all
time but especially after attending a gymkhana. J. B. Boothroyd
writes in the Foreword: 'Punch has had equestrian artists before.
In mid-Victorian times it was difficult to open a copy without
being trampled. But the creations between the present covers
achieve something entirely new: they combine portraiture with
caricature, a thing which most artists would hesitate to try with
human beings, let alone the more temperamentally elusive and
psychologically inscrutable horse. This means that while no horse
could possibly look exactly like a Thelwell horse, all Thelwell
horses manage to look exactly like horses.'
The Steel Claw, Louis Crandell, is assigned by the chief of the
Shadow Squad to protect the four most important nuclear scientists
as they meet for a secret conference. The assignment goes badly
wrong, as the scientists are frozen solid, and their assassin
chooses death over arrest, The Steel Claw must redeem his
reputation and find out who ordered the assassination. This cold
war thriller is pure sixties spy adventure story drawn in a graphic
noir style by Jesus Blasco.

"I've always looked upon cartooning as comedy's last frontier. I
have done stand-up, sketches, movies, monologues, awards show
introductions, sound bites, blurbs, talk show appearances, and
tweets, but the idea of a one-panel image with or without a caption
mystified me. I felt like, yeah, sometimes I'm funny, but there are
these other weird freaks who are actually funny. You can understand
that I was deeply suspicious of these people who are actually
funny." So writes the multitalented comedian Steve Martin in his
introduction to A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection. In order
to venture into this lauded territory of cartooning, he partnered
with the heralded New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve shared
caption and cartoon ideas, Harry provided impeccable artwork, and
together they created this collection of humorous cartoons and
comic strips, with amusing commentary about their collaboration
throughout. The result: this gorgeous, funny, singular book,
perfect to give as a gift or to buy for yourself.

useful to have in your corner. The millions of faithful Charles
Schulz fans and those who fondly remember our best-loved beagle and
