This last year has been one of great turmoil as wars, epidemics and
extreme climate events have ravaged the globe. Sometimes it has
felt as if the old certainties that have shored up our worldview
for so long are being swept away in an unstoppable torrent of
disaster, chaos, and disarray. But one thing has stolidly and
steadfastly resisted the foaming tides of time: Viz. No matter what
cataclysms and catastrophes lay waste to our fragile planet, the
potty-mouthed comic's loyal readers know they can expect an annual
packed full of stuff about toilets, second-rate celebrities and
unfeasibly large testicles to take their mind off oncoming
Armageddon. And this year - as Viz's latest annual The Zookeeper's
Boot goes on sale - is no exception to that rule. A stout and
glossy 226-page hardback, The Zookeeper's Boot is stuffed with the
hilarious stuff that has made Viz the country's fourth* or fifth**
favourite humorous magazine (* ** possibly sixth) for well over
four decades... * Edge-of-seat Adventures: Jack Black to the
Future, The Titanic Mystery, The Death of Nelson and Bad Bob the
Randy Wonderdog * Cartoons: The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, Biffa
Bacon, Mrs Brady Old Lady, Johnny Fartpants, The Real Ale Twats and
Roger Mellie * Readers' letters and Top Tips, spoof ads, quizzes,
games, Roger's Profanisaurus and much more So this Christmas, let
The Zookeeper's Boot tread its muck across your festive threshold
(and those of all your friends, relatives and acquaintances),
spreading its merry bouquet wherever it goes.
