Dogs and cats. Up and down. Oil and water. No one personifies the
hilarious yin and yang of the canine and feline worlds like Mark
O'Hare. In his third Citizen Dog collection, the talented
cartoonist provides another glimpse into the entertaining world of
Fergus the dog and Cuddles the cat. Along with assorted other
pals-including a vulnerable human named Mel-this pair share their
unique perspectives and adventurous exploits.Citizen Dog fans will
howl as Cuddles plays with virtual yarn he created on his laptop.
They'll identify with Fergus as he and his furry friend Arlo
discover the inane world of commuting. Always reminding us that
life is about relationships and how everyone deals differently with
the obstacles we encounter in our daily lives, Fergus and Cuddles
keep us laughing, and also thinking.Before creating Citizen Dog,
cartoonist Mark O'Hare contributed to several of Nickelodeon's hit
animated television series, including Rocko's Modern Life, Hey,
Arnold!, and Spongebob Squarepants. Citizen Dog has been syndicated
since 1995 and now appears in nearly 100 newspapers. He lives in
California. Before creating Citizen Dog, cartoonist Mark O'Hare

From Julius Malema's tantrums to President Zuma's plane trips, from
Bakkies Botha's booting to Helen Zille's toyi-toyiing, it's been a
big and busy year for news in the Rainbow Nation. Now comes the
newsiest titbit of all: the new Madam & Eve annual hits the
streets today. It's called The Pothole at the End of the Rainbow,
and it features your favourite household maintenance executive, Eve
Sisulu - now also a "Playmaid of the year" on the cover of the SA
edition of Playboy Magazine - as well as Madam, Mother Anderson,
and the usual crew of politicians, celebrities, and other leading
South African icons and institutions. Another satirical winner from
this sharp and witty creative team. The motley crew of Madam, Eve,
Thandi and Mother Anderson are like old friends to most South
Africans and their dysfunctional, chaotic and totally recognisable
South African household is an unfailingly hilarious reflection of
everyday life in this country.

drinking and smoking, and the difficulties of a persistent and
precocious child. Anyone who's ever worn inappropriate shoes to the
supermarket or danced around the house in their underwear will be
charmed by Motin's irreverent humor.
Praise for "But I Really Wanted to Be an Anthropologist"
"A great choice for a beach read--or a guilty pleasure."

Mark Russell & Shannon Wheeler's faithful-yet-irreverent
approach to the Bible made their book GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU a
modern cult classic. Now, by popular demand, they turn their

including the Midrash, the Apocrypha, Gnostic Gospels, and more!

Many of the most inspiring characters in comics and graphic novels
began their epic journeys as orphaned or abandoned children. In
these stories, the loss of a parent inflicts challenges that even
superpowers cannot easily resolve. For over a century and millions
of readers, the comic strip is a space in which this narrative has
been continuously reimagined. Superheroes, Orphans & Origins:
125 Years in Comics offers a richly illustrated and
thought-provoking exploration of the representation of orphans,
foundlings, adoptees and foster children in sequential art.
Surveying 125 years of creative practice and an international cast
of characters, this book examines how care-experience is depicted
in early comic strips like Little Orphan Annie, celebrated
superhero narratives including Superman and Batman, and popular
Japanese manga, among other examples. The complex issues and
identities that feature in these stories are considered from a
variety of perspectives, ranging from art historical to activist.
Contributing authors include Lemn Sissay, MBE and award-winning
artists Carlos Gimenez and Lisa Wool- Rim Sjoeblom, all drawing
inspiration from their own experiences in care. Bringing together
critical essays, candid conversations and outstanding artwork, this
book encourages a new way to experience comics. This book is
published on the occasion of the first major exhibition to focus on
the representation of care experience in comics, produced by the
Foundling Museum in London (April - August 2022).

Ninety-nine Stormtroopers join the Empire, and then their troubles
begin. One takes a lunch break in the carbon freezing chamber. Two
underestimate a princess. One picks the wrong time to ask for a
promotion. Another fails to show Jabba the proper respect. And one
interrupts Lord Vader's private time, failing him for the last
time. A lifelong Star Wars fan, Greg Stones brings a playful wit
and sympathy for the plight of the troops as they meet their
amusing ends, filling each colorfully painted scenario with fun
Star Wars details and appearances by Han, Luke, Chewie, K-2SO, and
many other characters. As the trooper count ticks down, how will
the last one fare as he receives a very special assignment (on the
Death Star)? (c) and TM Lucasfilm Ltd. Used Under Authorization

Those not enthralled with Donald Trump’s ascendance have been
shocked and appalled by it -- and taken by surprise. Not Garry
Trudeau, who honed in early, relentlessly and deftly highlighting
The Donald’s profound character flaws since 1987. It’s
all there – the arrogance and narcissism, the callowness and
sexism, the rudeness and condescension, the coarsening of public
discourse; and a good portion of the Doonesbury cast has been
tangled up in it. Join Duke, Honey, Earl, J.J., Mike, Mark,
Roland, Boopsie, B.D., Sal, Alice, Elmont, Sid, Zonker, Sam,
Bernie, Rev. Sloan, and even Red Rascal as they cross storylines
with the big, orange airhorn who’s giving the GOP such fits:
Donald J. Trump.

ourselves into Spaceman Spiff, a giant dinosaur, or an invisible
cookie snatcher, we can certainly enjoy a vicarious ride. Listed as
the favorite comic by newspapers nationwide.
