In The Son Johnny Alpha is assigned to mentor Kenton Sternhammer,
one of the new recruits to the ranks of the Strontium Dogs. Johnny
knows that Kenton Sternhammer is his old partner Wulf's offspring
and while Kenton understandably wants to follow in his father's
footsteps, Johnny is reluctant to allow it, knowing the fate that
has befallen many a Strontium Dog, including Wulf, a death which
still eats away at Johnny's conscience. This brand-new collection
showcases all-time comics legend Carlos Ezquerra's final work on
the character he co-created for Starlord in 1978, drawn before his
death in 2018.

takes final shape, and Charlie Brown becomes ... well, even more
Charlie Brown-ish.

This is a mongrel mix of prose, poem, cartoon strip, letter, and
limerick. Musings upon his mum, his chum, his love, his love's
loss, and salvation at the paws of his chum's mum's Welsh Border
Collie. This collection of verse and drawings from the man dubbed
"comedy's poet laureate" combines Hegley's skills as a stand-up
poet, puppeteer, and cartoonist. The work is, by turns, both
touching and funny. ""
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
The world's most beloved beagle shares his philosophy on life in
this beautifully produced gift book for all generations. In his
inimitable style, Snoopy spends his days extolling the virtues of

loser, Charlie Brown - the run-around. For the millions of faithful
Charles Schulz fans, and those who fondly remember the joyful dog
with the wild imagination, this is the first in a new series to
cherish that will see the beguiling Peanuts gang share their
sentiments on everything from food to friendship.

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."
What is "the cloud"? Is it here or there? Should it be allowed?
Should I even care? Have you ever imagined the internet as a giant
Rube Goldberg machine? Or the fast-evolving cloud computing space
as a literal jungle filled with prehistoric beasts? Does a data
breach look like a neo-noir nightmare full of turned-up coat
collars and rain-soaked alleys? Wouldn't all these vital concepts
be easier to understand if they looked as interesting as they are?
And wouldn't they be more memorable if we could explain them in
rhyme? Whether you're a kid or an adult, the answer is: YES! The
medicine in this spoonful of sugar is a sneaky-informative tour
through the past, present and future of cloud computing, from
mainframes to serverless and from the Internet of Things to
artificial intelligence. Forrest is a professional explainer whose
highly-rated conference talks and viral cartoon graphics have been
teaching engineers to cloud for years. He knows that a picture is
worth a thousand words. But he has plenty of words, too. Your hotel
key, your boarding pass, The card you swipe to pay for gas, The
smart TV atop the bar, The entertainment in your car, Your
doorbell, toothbrush, thermostat, The vacuum that attacked your
cat, They all connect the cloud and you. Maybe they shouldn't, but
they do. As a graduation gift (call it "Oh the Places You'll Go"
for engineering students), a cubicle conversation starter, or just
a delightfully nerdy bedtime story for your kids, "The Read-Aloud
Cloud" will be the definitive introduction to the technologies that
everyone uses and nobody understands. You can even read it silently
if you want. But good luck with that.
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.
Peanuts is the most popular comic strip in the history of the
world. Its characters - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus,
Schroeder, and so many more - have become dearly loved icons for
generation after generation. Now Charles Schulz's classic, Peanuts,
will be reprinted in its entirety for the first time. In these
beautifully produced editions, the strip will be presented in full
in chronological order. They will be the ultimate books for
Peanuts' fans the world over. These first volumes will be of
particular fascination to Peanuts aficionados. Many of the strips
from the series' first two or three years have never been collected
before, in large part because they showed a young Schulz working
out the kinks in his new strip. They include some characterizations
and designs that are quite different from the cast we all know,
including Snoopy's debut as a puppy!

Whyatt's Senior Moments: Animal Instincts is an amusing collection
