A compilation of the funniest cartoons from the much-loved Chloe & Co. Specially selected by Gray Joliffe, Chloe & Co features many of his best laugh-out-loud cartoons. Featuring Chloe, Angela and their friends, Chloe & Co enjoys a reputation for being uniquely naughty for a national daily newspaper. Now in its twentieth year, Chloe & Co appears each day in the Daily Mail and is syndicated worldwide. CHLOE, twenty something, bachelor girl, party girl, is more interested in 'Mr Right now' than looking for Mr Right. A money-motivated shopaholic, she likes expensive restaurants and drinking bubbly in bars with her girlfriends, loves being a man magnet and thinks cooking is a town in China. ANGELA, on the other hand, is intelligent, insecure, and usually into diets and fads which never work. Her self-obsession and over-sensitivity get in the way of her finding love with a nice man, and she resents Chloe getting more than her fair share of food and fellas. Angela's love life has gone missing.

From the worldwide phenomenon Sir Terry Pratchett, via the unquestionable wisdom of the Amazing Maurice, herein is contained everything you'll ever need to know to identify the real, unadulterated cat. The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the Ad Men sell us - the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true, unadulterated cat when we see one. For example: real cats have ears that look like they've been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars . . . or appear on Christmas cards . . . or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away . . . Featuring fifty illustrations and artwork from the creative minds behind the Amazing Maurice film, rediscover Sir Terry's wit and wisdom and re-educate yourself on how to separate Real Cats from the riff raff.
