Take a dive into the hilarious underwater world of Sherman's Lagoon, where humor, conflict, local politics, and pop culture all collide in an amusing maelstrom of aquatic comedy. New discoveries, travels, and creations are all underway in the Kapupu Lagoon. A search for other sea creatures leads to the discovery of The Wandering Meatloaf and The London Fatberg. But those new creatures aren't the only ones being found-on land, the Beach Apes have discovered the beaked whale despite Sam's existence being no secret in the sea. In one of his latest scams, Hawthorne decides to create Crabwarts Academy of Magic. It's not until Hawthorne grows a rat tail, Fillmore's walking on flamingo legs, and Sherman's got a rhino horn that Hawthorne realizes he's no match for real magic. Dive into the latest Sherman's Lagoon collection, where you might find that you need this book like a fish needs a bicycle... OK, so maybe a fish doesn't need a bicycle, but this book is pretty hilarious all the same!

ON THE TRAIL OF TOM THE DANCING BUG, by Ruben Bolling The Complete Tom the Dancing Bug, Volume 3: 1999-2002 Clover Press's Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program strides confidently ahead with the third chronological volume, covering every installment of the comic strip, a two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist, from 1999-2002. This volume not only includes the comic strip's favorite formats and characters, such as Super-Fun-Pak Comix, God-Man, the Omnipotent Superhero, Charley the Australopithecine, and its cover character Billy Dare, Boy Adventurer, it also includes the strip's famed and award-winning urgent turn into political satire following 9/11. Also in the volume is Ruben Bolling's brief run of monthly full-page comics for The New Yorker, and a special comic for The Village Voice on the 2000 Subway World Series. Tom the Dancing Bug is the wildly popular, groundbreaking comic strip that Mark Hamill called "wondrous, whimsical, and witty," and that led Seth Meyers to recently write, "The fact that Tom the bug can keep dancing in this day and age is a testament to Ruben Bolling's skills as a cartoonist!"

R291 Discovery Miles 2 910 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

What makes a perfect husband? In this tongue-in-cheek guide, illustrated by Heath Robinson's inimitable cartoons and contraptions, there are many charmingly old-fashioned tips for how to succeed in almost all aspects of married life. First published in 1937, this delightful book gives an insight into how the roles of both wife and husband were viewed at the time and pokes gentle fun at them both. The perfect husband presses his own trousers; he can tend the lawn and entertain the baby simultaneously by means of two simple attachments to the garden roller; he can peel onions behind his back, with the help of a mirror, and thus avoid tears; he can make a vacuum cleaner and he even has a device to help him climb the stairs silently after a late night out with the boys. When offered the choice of a glass of milk or a Manhattan, he will choose the former. With chapters on courtship and proposal, the wedding, early married life, bringing up children, sports and hobbies, domestic difficulties and middle age, this book makes a highly amusing gift for those who are considering tying the knot or wish to celebrate wedded bliss.
