As the 1950s close, Peanuts enters its golden age. Linus, who had
just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright
eloquent. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom.
But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. He's at the centre of
the most action-packed episodes. Jonathan Franzen, author of The
Corrections and life-long Peanuts fan, introduces the collection.
The third volume in a series of comic cartoons starring the Calvin
and Hobbes pair. Calvin, cheeky, hyperactive and mischievous, and
Hobbes, his cuddly toy tiger who, as far as Calvin is concerned is
very much alive and kicking, are two of the most loveable and
hilarious characters to grace the comic strip in years. Sit back
and enjoy . . .
A compilation of the funniest cartoons from the much-loved Chloe
& Co. Specially selected by Gray Joliffe, Chloe & Co
features many of his best laugh-out-loud cartoons. Featuring Chloe,
Angela and their friends, Chloe & Co enjoys a reputation for
being uniquely naughty for a national daily newspaper. Now in its
twentieth year, Chloe & Co appears each day in the Daily Mail
and is syndicated worldwide. CHLOE, twenty something, bachelor
girl, party girl, is more interested in 'Mr Right now' than looking
for Mr Right. A money-motivated shopaholic, she likes expensive
restaurants and drinking bubbly in bars with her girlfriends, loves
being a man magnet and thinks cooking is a town in China. ANGELA,
on the other hand, is intelligent, insecure, and usually into diets
and fads which never work. Her self-obsession and over-sensitivity
get in the way of her finding love with a nice man, and she resents
Chloe getting more than her fair share of food and fellas. Angela's
love life has gone missing.
I have a confession to make.
I think I am in friend-love with you.
What's friend-love? It's that super-awesome bond you share with
someone who makes you happy every time you text each other, or meet
up for an epic outing. It's not love-love. You don't want to swap
saliva; you want to swap favorite books. But it's just as intense
and just as amazing.
And it's this search for that connection that comic-book artist
Yumi Sakugawa captures in "I Think I Am in Friend-Love with You."
It's perfect if you've ever fallen in friend-love and want to show
that person how much you love them...in a platonic way, of
course.
Spaceman Spliff, Stupendous Man, the ferocious tiger Hobbes, and
the rest of Calvin's imaginary friends return in this book. Other
books featuring these characters include Something Under the Bed is
Drooling, Weirdos from Another Planet and Scientific Progress Goes
Boink. 'Beautifully drawn, with hilarious and often
thought-provoking text' Jersey Evening Post
A mirthful and merciless skewering of the Trump administration from
the senior statesman of political cartooning, Garry Trudeau. From
the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist whose acclaimed Yuge!: 30
Years of Doonesbury on Trump blew up the bestseller list, G.B.
Trudeau's final installment of his Doonesbury Trump trilogy takes
readers through the dark heart of Trump's presidency and into 2020
election mania. Including two years' worth of original Doonesbury
Sundays, full-color spreads, and 18 previously unpublished strips,
the presciently-titled Lewser buttons up our most recent long
national nightmare just in time for Christmas.
Robert Kirkman (b. 1978) is probably best known as the creator of
The Walking Dead. The comic book and its television adaptation have
reinvented the zombie horror story, transforming it from cult
curiosity and parody to mainstream popularity and critical acclaim.
In some ways, this would be enough to justify this career-spanning
collection of interviews. Yet Kirkman represents much more than
this single comic book title. Kirkman's story is a fanboy's dream
that begins with him financing his irreverent, independent comic
book Battle Pope with credit cards. After writing major titles with
Marvel comics (Spider-Man, Captain America, and X-Men), Kirkman
rejected companies like DC and Marvel and publicly advocated for
creator ownership as the future of the comics industry. As a
partner at Image, Kirkman wrote not only The Walking Dead but also
Invincible, a radical reinvention of the superhero genre. Robert
Kirkman: Conversations gives insight to his journey and explores
technique, creativity, collaboration, and the business of comics as
a multimedia phenomenon. For instance, while continuing to write
genre-based comics in titles like Outcast and Oblivion Song,
Kirkman explains his writerly bias for complex characters over
traditional plot development. As a fan-turned-creator, Kirkman
reveals a creator's complex relationship with fans in a comic-con
era that breaks down the consumer/producer dichotomy. And after
rejecting company-ownership practices, Kirkman articulates a vision
of the creator-ownership model and his goal of organic creativity
at Skybound, his multimedia company. While Stan Lee was the most
prominent comic book everyman of the previous era of comics
production, Kirkman is the most prominent comic book everyman of
this dynamic, evolving new era.
Naji al-Ali grew up in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain
al-Hilweh in the south Lebanese city of Sidon, where his gift for
drawing was discovered by the Palestinian poet Ghassan Kanafani in
the late 1950s. Early the following decade he left for Kuwait,
embarking on a thirty-year career that would see his cartoons
published daily in newspapers from Cairo to Beirut, London to
Paris.
Resolutely independent and unaligned to any political party, Naji
al-Ali strove to speak to and for the ordinary Arab people; the
pointed satire of his stark, symbolic cartoons brought him
widespread renown. Through his most celebrated creation, the
witness-child Handala, al-Ali criticized the brutality of Israeli
occupation, the venality and corruption of the regimes in the
region, and the suffering of the Palestinian people, earning him
many powerful enemies and the soubriquet "the Palestinian Malcolm
X."
For the first time in book form, "A Child in Palestine" presents
the work of one of the Arab world's greatest cartoonists, revered
throughout the region for his outspokenness, honesty and humanity.
""That was when the character Handala was born. The young, barefoot
Handala was a symbol of my childhood. He was the age I was when I
had left Palestine and, in a sense, I am still that age today and I
feel that I can recall and sense every bush, every stone, every
house and every tree I passed when I was a child in Palestine. The
character of Handala was a sort of icon that protected my soul from
falling whenever I felt sluggish or I was ignoring my duty. That
child was like a splash of fresh water on my forehead, bringing me
to attention and keeping me from error and loss. He was the arrow
of the compass, pointing steadily towards Palestine. Not just
Palestine in geographical terms, but Palestine in its humanitarian
sense--the symbol of a just cause, whether it is located in Egypt,
Vietnam or South Africa.""--Naji al-Ali, in conversation with Radwa
Ashour

Who hasn't peeked over the shoulder of the person reading next to
them on the subway, curious about the book in their hands? Who
doesn't secretly love skipping the party to stay home and read? Who
hasn't daydreamed of catching the eye of a future significant other
as you discover from across the room that you're reading the same
book? If you're a reader, you know you've been there, and probably
in so many other weird places as well, right? That's what happens
with readers, they have these strange traits, these particular
ways, that separate them from the rest. Reading Quirks explores, in
72 lighthearted four-frame cartoons, all these weird things readers
do, from the existential dilemma of picking your next read to the
frustrations of watching an overzealous dog-earer in action. The
series was written and created by a bookstore in Dallas, The Wild
Detectives, originally as a social media campaign-a way to connect
with other readers over a shared understanding of what it means to
be crazy about books. Laura Pacheco's adorable illustrations
introduce a cast of endearing characters, whose flaws and
obsessions range from disarming good nature to mischievous
playfulness. Reading Quirks is a witty and light-hearted ode to the
immense pleasure of reading and its resulting byproduct: neurosis.
A collection of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons. The author won the 1986
Reuben Award as Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year and has also
illustrated Something Under the Bed is Drooling, Scientific
Progress Goes Boink and Weirdos From Another Planet.

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. ""
When an unscrupulous shopkeeper settles a debt with Fantasio by
offering him a mysterious 'gizmo', the reporter has no idea how
much trouble is following in the thing's wake. It turns out to be a
sort of robot that soon takes our heroes on a mad chase leading to
Champignac - and an equally mysterious young woman sequestered in a
cellar. And as if that wasn't enough, every electrical appliance in
town seems to be going haywire...
