A year's worth of marine-life amusement with the cast and crew of
Sherman's Lagoon. The sharks, turtles, and crabs of Sherman’s
Lagoon enjoy a complex society below the ocean’s surface, with a
local government, school system, and even their own radio station.
And like all advanced cultures, there’s no lack of drama. A
visiting shark oil salesman shows up to hock a strange new elixir,
and later, a consultant arrives to help the laconic locals hone
their killer instincts. When Kahuna feels his powers wane, Sherman
and Hawthorne help the ancient stone deity get his groove back. And
after Sherman and friends hop a flight to see a rocket launch at
the Kennedy Space Center, Hawthorne accidentally goes from
spectator to passenger. Once you dip into these Adventures in
Aquaculture, you’ll want to stay awhile.

Then you need The Cartoon History of the United Statesto fill those gaps. From the first English colonies to the Gulf War and the S&L debacle, Larry Gonick spells it all out from his unique cartoon perspective.
#1 "New York Times" Bestseller
In her first memoir, Roz Chast brings her signature wit to the
topic of aging parents. Spanning the last several years of their
lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and
documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears,
Chast's memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone
experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents.
When it came to her elderly mother and father, Roz held to the
practices of denial, avoidance, and distraction. But when Elizabeth
Chast climbed a ladder to locate an old souvenir from the "crazy
closet"--with predictable results--the tools that had served Roz
well through her parents' seventies, eighties, and into their early
nineties could no longer be deployed.
While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies--an
anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as
he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother
whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades--the
themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role;
aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an
institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies;
managing logistics; and hiring strangers to provide the most
personal care.
An amazing portrait of two lives at their end and an only child
coping as best she can, "Can't We Talk about Something More
Pleasant" will show the full range of Roz Chast's talent as
cartoonist and storyteller.

The Simpsons Futurama Crossover CrisisUncut and all comedy! First
published in 2002 and 2005 as two two-part, comic book mini-series
(Futurama/Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis and The
Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis II), these four hard-to-find
comics are collected together for the first time in a hardcover
collection, encased in a die-cut slipcase, and packaged with a
reprint of the very first Eisner Award-winning issue of Simpsons
Comics from 1993. "Abrams' initial release is a beautifully
designed package, a glossy hardcover in a glossier slipcover, as
bright and colorful as a grab-bag bin in a candy-store."-The Onion
AV ClubFrom Publishers Weekly Two classic animated series are
brought together in a comic that offers many surprises, including
how well it all works when transported to a new medium. Although
both sources are the creation of cartoonist Matt Groening, the
broadcast runs of each series referred to the other as works of
fiction within their own universes, perhaps seeking to avoid the
temptation of an attention grabbing crossover. And yet somehow this
assemblage ably accomplishes just such a task while remaining
faithful to the source materials. When Futurama's crew from the
Planet Express delivery service become trapped in the fictional
world of a Simpsons comic book, they must escape from Springfield.
But shortly afterward they open a rift that brings the Simpsons
characters into the Planet Express world, where the fictional
characters must be rescued and returned to the pages of their comic
book. Boothby's writing excels at letting each universe and the
characters in them maintain their subtly distinct identities even
when they blend. The overarching story for the book is designed to
easily allow opportunities for affectionate references to comics,
to science fiction, and to notable works of fiction. While the
Simpsons comics included in the collection are not as strong, the
crossover story takes what could have been a simple throwaway gag
and instead crafts a funny, intricately detailed story. (Apr.)

If there is one thing that equestrians have learned to do over
time, it is laugh at themselves. The horse world is a crazy,
wonderful, ridiculous, awful, beautiful place, and horse people
know it. We spend an inordinate amount of money on insanely fragile
animals with a well-recognized ability to get hurt just enough to
be out of work most of the time and eating and sleeping all of the
time. We dress ourselves, and our horses, in silly outfits, obsess
over diet, exercise, and footwear (for the horse), and invest in
regular massages, chiropractic work, acupuncture sessions, and
pedicures (again, for the horse). Morgane Schmidt knows all about
the madness that comes with the equine territory, having owned and
competed horses in eventing and dressage for years. A lifelong fan
of the classic equestrian cartoons penned by internationally
renowned artist Norman Thelwell, she began her own comic series in
2011, sharing deftly funny reflections on life with horses with an
avid online fanbase. Ten years later, her witty observations and
fabulously rendered characters have been brought together in one
immensely entertaining collection. Featuring both viral favorites
and never-before-seen comics created exclusively for this book,
Life with Horses Is Never Orderly offers endless laughs and
on-point commentary about the equestrian world and those insane
enough to fumble along within it, knowing full well absolutely
nothing is within their control. With plenty of evergreen humor
that always applies, hot topics and seasonal hits, and cartoons
inspired by current events in the "outside world" that some
equestrians are willing to admit actually does exist, readers will
find hundreds of reasons to feel good about all the bad decisions
they've probably made because they "love horses," and a whole lot
to laugh about.
