Wat soek ’n haai in die skool se swembad? Hoe lank is ’n weerwolf se humeur? Is enige iets erger as skottelgoed was? Wat is ’n huis sonder ’n moeder? Is ’n draak die perfekte troeteldier? Wat soek jou ouma op die Pick n Pay se dak? Hoekom dra bere nie klere nie? Wat sou gebeur het as die maan ’n pizza was? Waarom is daar so min rympies oor erdvarke? Bestaan daar iets soos ’n spaghettiboom? Wat moet jy doen as ’n renoster jou jaag? Hoe klink die perfekte monsterbrul? Wat eet Dracula vir nagereg? Kan jy jou eie elmboog lek?

Jy sal die antwoorde op al hierdie vrae in dié lawwe lekkerlagboek vind. Moenie hierdie boek eet nie! bevat 365 rympies (en ’n bonusrympie vir ’n skrikkeljaar) wat kinders (én grootmense!) heeljaar sal laat skaterlag!

A spider lives inside my headWho weaves a strange and wondrous webOf silken threads and silver stringsTo catch all sorts of flying things, Like crumbs of thought and bits of smilesAnd specks of dried-up tears, And dust of dreams that catch and clingFor years and years and years . . .

Scottish artist Tom Paterson is one of the most inventive and influential cartoonists British comics have produced. Inspired by the work of George Martin, Leo Baxendale and Ken Reid, Tom became a comic artist at a young age, working for Fleetway and DC Thomsons on such classic strips as Sweeny Toddler, Calamity James, Buster, Grimly Feendish, The Numskulls, Bananaman and Dennis the Menace. At the beginning of his career Tom was ghosting artists like Baxendale, but his own style and sense of humour quickly developed and Tom's work soon became unmistakable. His trademark stinky, striped sock often appeared in the panels of his work - a useful identifier born out of an age where publishers frowned upon artists signing their work. Along with the sock came the additional, visual comedic gags scattered throughout the strips, giving each one that instant re-readability. This collection features some of Tom's outstanding colour and black & white strip work for IPC/Fleetway from titles like Buster, Whoopee!, Jackpot, Whizzer & Chips and Oink! amongst others. With quotes from the man himself and some extra, added treasures, this is a must have for fans of British humour comics both young and old!
