Ever since they started dating, Sarah and Stef had dreams of
getting to visit Toronto-the home of Scott Pilgrim, the CN Tower
and the legendary comic book festival, TCAF! In this Our Super
Adventure Travelogue book, Sarah and Stef finally get to make this
dream come true! Join them as they take in the famous sights and
sounds of the city, get soaked at Niagara Falls, and try poutine
for the very first time! Plus, bonus photos from their trip!
The final volume in the series drawn by Tove Jansson "
Moomin Book Five: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip "features
the final strips drawn by Tove Jansson and written by her brother
Lars for the "London Evening News," before Lars took over both the
art and the writing. The first "Moomin Winter" returns with more
unwanted guests than in "Book One," especially the curious and
secret-spilling Nibling, sending the Moomin household into a tizzy
of secrecy and closed doors. In "Moomin Under Sail," theMoomins
find themselves without a new adventure until Too-Ticky's compass
gives them the idea to build a boat and head to sea. Finally, we
meet the Fuddler in "Fuddler's Courtship."Mymble captures poor
Fuddler's heart, and his bumbling drives her straight into the arms
of Dr.Hatter, the local psychiatrist. Delightfully quirky, the
Moomin family does not fare well under the gaze of someone trained
in correcting odd behavior.
'A gem' - The Evening Standard 'Pure book joy. Deep thinking made
digestible & doled up with lashings of wit' Bernardine Evaristo

consultation room? Bestselling author Philippa Perry (The Book You

thought-provoking exploration of the therapeutic journey,

Philippa is a tonic' Rachel Cooke, Observer
Marvel Comics artist Scott Koblish (Deadpool, Spider-Man) has been
illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny,
4-panel black-and-white comics. He's the one person struck by a
comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the
precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his
daughter's (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though
it's always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly
capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go
very wrong in one irrevocable instant. Slapstick, surreal, and
eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of color
throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that, if the
end is nigh, at least you'll die laughing.
This book is another collection of Annie Tempest's
expertly-observed cartoons humorously depicting the archetypical
English upper-class, following spirited traditionalists Dicky and
Daffy Tottering, who reside in their lavish yet dilapidating
ancestral home, Tottering Hall, together with their adored and
exceedingly-spoilt dogs, affectionately named Slobber and Scribble.
Daffy is a redoubtable and, these days, lamentably-dying breed,
frequently referred to as a 'Country Lady', while Dicky just lives
in another era altogether. Follow this endearing couple as they
attempt to navigate an increasingly-modernised world with their
mischievous pooches, both of whom hold a firm place in their
owners' affections, allowing them to wreak all kinds of havoc with
minimal consequences. Annie Tempest's ability to comically depict
the highs and lows of dog ownership is second to none - and stands
as a heart-warming reminder that, despite muddy paws on the carpet
and the occasional raiding of the fridge, we will love them all the
same. The cartoons in this book are sure to resonate with all dog
owners as they compare the foibles of black Lab Slobber and working
cocker Scribble to the eccentricities of their own treasured pets.
Even if you've never had the pleasure of encountering these
characters before, one cannot fail to be amused by these
beautifully-executed cartoons.
Arguing that the comic is a quality of literary works of art in
other forms as well as comedy, George McFadden finds its essence in
the maintenance of some literary feature--a situation, a
character--as itself despite threats to alter it. Originally
published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
The stupidest, ugliest, stubbliest girl in grade number two is back
and so are the zits, boogers, guts, tumors, and turds in this
fourth and final collection of riotously hilarious, eye-poppingly
offensive four-panel gag strips. Co-starring the usual cast of
Blecky s weirdo friends and enemies, plus jelly clones, morbidly
obese Jesus, the Blumpkins, slug nuts, aliens, talking belches, the
beloved New Character Parade and oh so much more. Over 100 pages of
ridiculous absurdity, over-the-top gross-outs, and scathing satire
as only Johnny Ryan can deliver."
We all know a good boy.
He's a 'Feminist’... in his Tinder bio.
He ghosts you, but then feels bad. (For a moment.)
He’s not mansplaining, just aggressively clarifying.
And he's open to being wrong. Theoretically.
Ready to call time on rewarding those who clear the low bar of not
being outwardly awful?
Awards for Good Boys explores why so-called and self-proclaimed good
boys are actually not that great, and makes literal our tendency to
applaud men for doing the absolute least. It will make you cry-laugh,
feel validated, and help you unravel your own assumptions about what
makes us good.
Ever been late? Steve has. Lots. But he always has a good excuse.
Here are 101 real corkers for you to enjoy. And maybe even
borrow... * Distracted by a surprisingly complicated Kinder toy *
Overcome by the urge to alphabetise my pets * Forgot how trousers
work * Became temporarily feral * Got stuck in a romantic montage
Why Steve Was Late is a book of hilarious (and even - occasionally
- plausible!) reasons for tardiness, handily dreamed up and
illustrated by someone else.
