A Wag to the Wise: wit and wisdom from the dog world. Over 80
cartoons showing why dogs and people get along famously in spite of
their constant misunderstandings. Over 80 waggish captions with a
dog's version of common proverbs and sayings given prominence over
the human versions. The cartoons cover the main features of a dog's
life, including food, walks, owners, cats, vets, other dogs,
puppies, home comforts, digging holes and chasing anything that
moves.
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 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.
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.
