In this hilarious spoof of historic thrillers about everybody's favorite Renaissance Man, Da Vinci has more than just his demons and his code; he's got a head-cold that nearly costs the world The Last Supper and sends the renowned artist-engineer-inventor on a decade-long secret quest to rid mankind of one of its most annoying ailments. Did Leonardo Da Vinci really create a remedy for the common cold only to have it hidden from the world for 500 years? If so, why and, where did he get all those chickens? L.K. Peterson is the author of Fairly Grim Tales, Get the F**k Back to Work and The 2012 Doomsday Planner. Randy Jones's illustrations and cartoons have appeared in the New York Times, Playboy and the National Lampoon.

A hilariously twisted collection of nine classic fables that have been given the reboot as satiric bedtime stories for the rich and famous. From "Goldilocks and the Three Tenors" to "The Six Blond Men and the Elephant," you'll be laughing from cover to cover even if you're neither rich nor famous. Illustrated by Tom Hachtman, creator of the comic strip Gertrude's Follies.

What to do about our do-nothing Congress? Sure, we've tried voting them out. We've tried indicting them. Nothing works them especially. Open mockery at least seems to get their attention, so maybe this collection of satirically motivational rhymes will prompt them to start doing what they campaigned so hard to get their jobs. Even if this book doesn't inspire Congress into action any more effectively than "Go the F**k to Sleep" got wide-awake children into slumberland, it will provide us frustrated citizens, like those bleary-eyed parents, a few laughs and make us feel just a little better about the whole mess. L.K. Peterson is the author of "Fairly Grim Tales: Bedtime Stories for the Rich and/or Famous" and proprietor of the website Ant Farmer's Almanac. Tom Hachtman's cartoons have appeared in Mad, Playboy, and the New Yorker. He's the creator of the comic strip "Gertrude's Follies."
