Funnybooks is the story of the most popular American comic books of the 1940s and 1950s, those published under the Dell label. For a time, «Dell Comics Are Good Comics» was more than a slogan—it was a simple statement of fact. Many of the stories written and drawn by people like Carl Barks (Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge), John Stanley (Little Lulu), and Walt Kelly (Pogo) repay reading and rereading by educated adults even today, decades after they were published as disposable entertainment for children. Such triumphs were improbable, to say the least, because midcentury comics were so widely dismissed as trash by angry parents, indignant librarians, and even many of the people who published them. It was all but miraculous that a few great cartoonists were able to look past that nearly universal scorn and grasp the artistic potential of their medium. With clarity and enthusiasm, Barrier explains what made the best stories in the Dell comic books so special. He deftly turns a complex and detailed history into an expressive narrative sure to appeal to an audience beyond scholars and historians.

Sit around, leave sh*t all over the place, drink, forget about deadlines…being lazy is pretty easy. But the real art to being chill is when someone without any real ambition can fly under the radar and live unscathed by the never-ending reams of self-help and inspiration rained upon anyone who just wants to watch Netflix. Find that magical place where doing what comes naturally keeps the do-ers at arm's length. Rather than doing less, do just enough. Screw TED Talks, Instagram images of a beach with Fail Better in gold cursive, marathon training, tips for keeping plants alive, and all self-aggrandizing social media. Ninety-nine percent of people on this planet are just pretty average. We're doing our thing. Trying to get out of bed in the morning. Hey, are you awake right now? Reading a sentence? You know what? That's success in my book. Being a person is hard enough without all the pressure of being good at it.

The anti-clutter movement is having a moment. You may have heard about a book-an entire book-written on the topic of tidiness and how magical and life-changing it is to neaten up and THROW AWAY YOUR BELONGINGS. Yes, you read that correctly. It's time to fight that ridiculousness and to start buying even more stuff and leaving it any place you want. Guess what, neatniks? Science shows that messy people are more creative.* Being a slob is an art, and there's a fine line between being a consumer and being a hoarder. Don't cross that line. This book shows you how to clutter mindfully and with great joy. The results are mind-blowing. Your plants will stop dying. Your whiskey bottle will never run dry. Your drugstore points will finally add up to a free jar of salsa and some nice shampoo. You'll go shopping and discover that you've lost weight… It's time to take back your life from the anti-clutter movement. *As well as smarter and more attractive.

A personal message from the author: Lots of individuals in society today are feeble-minded. They don't know what the HELL is going on. Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE COUNTRY. They don't know the difference between a PRECIOUS JEWEL and a piece of animal turd. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS, illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Yet still people HEED this nonsense. Maybe YOU are one of these people? It's alright. I am here to HELP you. I have a FULLY-COMPOSED WORLD VIEW. I have STRONG opinions about EVERYTHING. And my ideas are HAND-ILLUSTRATED and use REAL HANDWRITING that you can trust. I know exactly what's going on and am WILLING to share my thoughts with you. If you LISTEN to what I say then things will quickly improve. No more weak messages. No more bad situations. Shall we proceed?

Svenonius's two previous books–Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group and Censorship Now!!–are both great, steady, evergreen sellers for Akashic. Supernatural Strategies is in its 4th printing with over 11,000 sales to date.Svenonius will be very involved in the promotion. He is truly an icon in the underground rock world with a devoted cult following. The author also tours nonstop, which will help.

The Psychic Soviet had a limited release by an indie record label, but Akashic's new, expanded edition will have bonus material and proper book distribution that the previous edition didn't have.20 black-and-white illustrations (one at the start of each chapter)

Lastele seda raamatut ei soovita, aga lapsevanematel on seal küllaga lugemist ja äratundmist: kas keegi võib üldse öelda, et ta pole pidanud oma võsukese pärast punastama või käigu pealt mõne „kurejutu“ välja mõtlema?! Õnneks kaob häbiõhetus vanemate palgeilt ruttu ja pisut piinlikust seigast saab hea lugu, mida edasi rääkida. Just sellised anekdoodid on Erkki Kõlu kokku kogunud. Juku kõrval astuvad üles ka Mannid, vanaisad-vanaemad, onud-tädid ja loomulikult isad-emad.

Pole vist olemas inimtüüpi või eluala, kelle kohta „Anekdoodipiiblist“ ühtegi anekdooti ei leiaks. Oma jao saavad advokaadid, arstid ja asotsiaalid; õpetajad, hullud ja ämmad; kalamehed, jahimehed ja muidumehed; kool ja kirik … On musta huumorit ja poliitiliselt ebakorrektseid – kõike on! Naermise hõlbustamiseks on anekdoodid paigutatud teemade kaupa tähestiku järjekorras.

This special bundle contains both of James Ross’ essential companion volumes to the great Canadian tradition of life at the cottage.

"The editors have performed a task for addicts will be grateful. There is nothing for the faithful to do but to sit down and fall to the banquet." — The New York TimesThis is the largest collection of Lewis Carroll's verse ever compiled. It contains almost every poem that Carroll ever wrote. It includes every prose appearing in his books published during his life, privately printed poems, ephemera, poems from manuscripts found among his papers, and from «The Rectory Magazine,» Collingwood's «Lewis Carroll Picture Book,» «Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll,» and rare 19th century periodicals. This is the only place of publication for much of this verse.This volume contains 150 different poems, offering perhaps the finest whimsy ever written. There are parodies, burlesques, riddles, whimsies, ballads, songs (one with Carroll's own music), extravaganzas, acrostics, and other types, including several of his serious poems. Many poems are annotated to explain contemporary allusions, and this edition retains 130 original illustrations by Tenniel, Frost, Holiday, Furniss, and Carroll himself.

Man kann am täglichen Spagat zwischen perfekt und defekt verzweifeln – oder ihm mit Selbstironie und Gelassenheit begegnen. Anne Vogd hat sich für letzteres entschieden. Nach dem Motto «Vernünftig, das ist wie tot, nur früher» bekämpft sie die kleinen und großen Krisen des Alltags mit einer guten Portion Humor, Gelassenheit und Improvisationstalent. Denn wer immer scheitert, ist auch zuverlässig.

"Was ist das? Es hat 'nen roten Schnabel, grüne Flügel, 'nen gelben Schwanz, fliegt in der Luft, macht Pfff und hat zehn Zentner Kartoffeln auf'm Buckel?" Heinz Erhardt bringt seinen Gesprächspartner in einer Rätselwette mit Quote 100:10 zum Verzweifeln, bis dieser die Segel streicht: «Hier ham'se hundert Mark, ich weiß es nicht.» Darauf Erhardt: «Hier ham'se zehn Mark, ich weiß es auch nicht.» So war Erhardt, der Meisterschelm. Wertvoll sind auch seine Beiträge zur Allgemeinbildung: «Der Igel, lateinisch, Igelus stachulosus, oder kurz: stachus, zerfällt in zwei Arten, nämlich in den Land- und in den Seeigel. Letzterer lebt im Wasser und sieht seine Aufgabe hauptsächlich darin, badenden Menschen in die Füße zu stechen.» Selbstredend weiß Erhardt auch allerlei Lustiges aus seinem Leben zu berichten. Und aufs Singen versteht er sich sowieso vorzüglich. Wie in jenem Lied, das hier Titel gebend steht: «Ach, wie schön ist doch die Welt.»

What can the rise and reign of this century's most feared politician teach us about life, work and love? Rob Sears shows how the machinations that enabled Putin to dominate the Kremlin and undermine the United States of America could also help you take control of your mundane life. How would you like to ruin your enemies by sharing compromising material about that time they didn't wash their hands? Or annex territory by claiming the stationery cupboard at work as your personal empire? Fancy hacking democracy at the parent-teacher association to ensure you're a shoo-in for social secretary? Or serving up a cold dish called revenge in a high street restaurant? Filled with stories from Putin's extraordinary time in power, and ideas and illustrations to help you emulate him on a small scale, Vladimir Putin: Life Coach is the ultimate guide to releasing the pseudo-elected, judo black-belt, 5D chess-playing autocrat inside each and every one of us.

In this raffish, hilarious, scathing yet often surprisingly humane collection, Gill applies his unmatched wit to the largest and smallest issues of our time. Whether you're struggling to satisfy your other half, having a crisis over your baldness, don't like your daughter's boyfriend, or need the definitive rules on shorts, leather jackets and man-bags, AA Gill has all the answers – but you'd better brace yourself first.

While patrolling his territory, Simon’s Cat dips into the lives of the many dogs in his neighbourhood, including crazy poodles, a lovestruck bulldog and a pack of mischievous puppies.

Just who is the secret political adviser calling himself The Man in the Room Next Door? No one knows. We don’t even know his name.

Packed with letters, memos, texts, tweets, emails, journal entries, leaked documents and crude doodles, these pages will reveal who The Man in the Room Next Door is and, more importantly, his thoughts on those who employ his services, including Donald ‘dangerous puffin’ Trump, Boris ‘posh motorboat’ Johnson and some of their least competent colleagues. This book is the evidence that anyone can be a world leader. Just as long as they’re wearing the right earpiece. *fictional

Käesolevasse kogumikku on Erkki Kõlu ammendamatust anekdootide varamust valitud need, mis räägivad arstidest, apteekritest, sanitaridest, medõdedest ja muidugi nende patsientidest. Hoiatuseks peab ütlema, et sugugi mitte alati ei ole selge, kelle üle siis parajasti ikkagi naerdakse.

Evildoers, Take Heed! Justice has a new face, and it wears a mask. Who are we talking about? Ordinary folk like Mike McMullen, a.k.a. The Amazing Whitebread, who become something entirely new and occasionally borderline pathological: Real-Life Superheroes (RLSHs). «Being a singing superheroine is a way for me to not only pay the bills, it also helps me give the baddies such a headache.» –Danger Woman Complete with costumes and all the gadgetry they can afford from selling old copies of Action Comics on eBay, RLSHs dish out their own brand of justice–while criminals go about their business and law enforcers roll their eyes. «Me and Shadowhare were walking past a bank and we stopped to make a phone call. As soon as we started walking away, the police came up and said, 'Do you know why we stopped you? Because you guys are wearing masks standing in front of a bank.'» –Mr. Xtreme McMullen spans the country, coach class, seeking to develop his own RLSH identity and address such weighty issues as: Sidekicks: Faithful wards or CPS bait?Bad Guys: Where the hell are they all hiding?Super-tights: How snug is too snug? So don your mask, suck in your gut, and join us. "Hey, you're with a superhero. . .what could go wrong?" –Geist, the Emerald Cowboy Michael McMullen, a.k.a. The Amazing Whitebread, was born in Wichita Falls, Texas. He earned an undergraduate degree in history and philosophy, and subsequently took the only employment option open to someone with the resultant lack of marketable skills: government service. He's worked as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Department of Justice for just over a decade and currently lives in Arlington, Texas, with his wife, Lauren, and their children, Grant and Gracie. His hobbies include aspiring to get some woodworking done, thinking about learning a musical instrument, and trying to get interested in any computer game other than Text Twist. He has had short pieces published in various science fiction/fantasy magazines and currently holds the record for «Worst-Kept Secret Identity.»

Müts maha tüdruku ees, kes kirjutas raamatu „Minu Iisrael“. Nõuab vaprust ja arukust, et saada asjadest aru nagu tema. Sestap usaldan tema anekdoodivalikut. Teate ju, et mitte kõigil ei ole õigust meie üle naerda, ainult meil endil… ja neil, kes meid armastavad.(Adik Levin)Juudid hindavad head nalja ja on alati valmis naerma. Nende huumor on peenutsev, irooniline, torisev ja kindlasti tähtenäriv. Aabram ja Saara on juudi anekdootide lemmikpaar. Ikka ja taas satuvad nad kentsakatesse olukordadesse. Vaidlevad ja nääklevad, aga on väga inimlikud.Margit Prantsus on elanud Iisraelis, valdab ivriiti ja õpetab seda teistelegi. Tema kokkupuudetest juudiriigi ja selle värvikate elanikega võime lugeda raamatust „Minu Iisrael“ (2017). Margiti terav pilk on valinud välja parimad anekdoodid, mida juudid ise enda kohta räägivad.

Diesseits von Eden und jenseits aller Genregrenzen haben Wiebke Eymess und Friedolin Müller ihre eigene Form des Kabaretts gefunden: federleichter Witz und unterhaltsamer Tiefsinn, absurdkomische Dialoge und verstörend-schöne bis schön-verstörende Lieder auf Saiten- und zahlreichen Schrumpfinstrumenten.

Wie schön wäre es, wenn Frauen sich gut verstehen, wenn sie sich alles sagen könnten, wenn sie nie neidisch, eifersüchtig, hinterhältig, mißgünstig, unehrlich, arrogant, schleimerisch, zynisch und böse zueinander wären – und wie langweilig! Das könnte dem ungleichen deutschen Damen-Duo nie passieren – daß sie langweilig werden. Also kämpfen sie mit allen Mitteln: Ironie, Sentimentalität und der ultimativen Waffe einer Frau: Intelligenz. Natürlich singen die Beiden – was könnten sie besser und wer könnte es besser als sie. Aber auch wenn sie ihre Kommentare abgeben, sollte man besser nicht in die Schusslinie geraten.

Vampires: The 100% Bona Fide Totally Real And Not Made Up At All Truth In this day and age, the belief in vampires has been dwindling at an exponential rate. Those who still believe in them are often wildly misinformed. So what do you think will happen when Johnny McNormalpants finds himself face to face with a bloodthirsty vampire? Probably crap his pants, but then what? An informed citizen would know exactly what to do in this situation. If only there was some way to enlighten the public about this often forgotten subject, preferably in the form of a mock informative guide or something.From Matt Melvin, one of the creators of Explosm.net and the hit online comic Cyanide & Happiness, comes Dracula Is A Racist, the definitive guide to vampires, answering those gravely important questions that keep you up at night. . . • Was Dracula really a racist? • How do vampires do their hair if they don't have any reflection? • Is it gross for immortals to be attracted to high school girls if they're stuck in a 17-year-old body? • Was Sesame Street ever truly safe from The Count? • Is dressing in all black and acting snobby toward everyone enough to fake being a vampire? • Just how much more badass are vampires than zombies? Dracula Is A Racist is the essential vampire handbook that digs up all the dirt and backs it up with hard vampirical evidence. That's totally true. Really. Matt Melvin is a 25-year-old T-shirt aficionado and sideburn enthusiast. Along with three other dudes, he runs Explosm.net, a pretty awesome website full of awesome things. When not adding even more filth to the Internet, he enjoys criticizing and complaining about movies, listening to music and inventing obscure types of niche sexual acts. He currently lives in San Diego. He is very tall.

A cheeky introduction to Marxism and socialism for everyone fed up with their capitalist woes. Millennials have it bad. They face the problems of underemployment, unaffordable housing, and economists who write crap columns telling them it’s their fault for taking an Uber to brunch. Today the future’s so dark we need night vision goggles, not a few liberal guys shining a torch on a sandwich. Maybe today we could use the light of Karl Marx. Marx may not have had much to say about brunch in the twenty-first century, but he sure had some powerful thoughts about where the system of capitalism would land us. Over time, it would produce a series of crises, he said, before pushing the wealth so decisively up that the top-heavy system would come crashing down with a push. Pushy old communist Helen Razer offers an introduction to the thought of Marx for Millennials and anyone else tired of wage stagnation, growing global poverty, and economists writing desperate columns saying everything would work better if only we stopped eating avocado toast.

Rahvasuus liigub igasuguseid lugusid, ka uskumatult roppe. Tuleb välja, et meie esivanemad ei olnud sugugi nii ontlikud, kui arvata võiksime.

Here’s a bit of advice, mom to mom: Throw down the minivan keys, brush the cereal off the table, kick the toys into a corner, sit down with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine), and read Death by Minivan . Author Heather Anderson Renshaw, mother of five, is a lot like you. She knows all about the wild, crazy, and often hilarious experience of motherhood. And she feels sometimes like she’s barely keeping up – and maybe even failing at the whole “mom thing.” Thankfully, as she shares in these pages, motherhood isn’t a trip that’s meant to be taken alone. God’s got this, and the more we let him lead, the more we find the fruits of his Holy Spirit taking root in our hearts and in our families. So buckle up, because you’re on the road to a more joyful, more peaceful, more faithful motherhood. Along the way, Heather offers tips for getting past the inevitable roadblocks, the “GPS” for finding your way (it’s Scripture), and roadside assistance courtesy of the saints. With humor, honesty, and spirit, Heather Renshaw employs personal insights and timeless truths to help us harvest the fruits of the Holy Spirit, our companion and GPS along our path to God. Insightful and fun for individuals and even better for group study, this book should be required «drivers training» for busy moms navigating family life.– Lisa M.

Call me Ivey Mae

I am middle aged. I am staying married. I don't want any sort of implant and there isn't a cougar bone in my body.

I have six children, including a set of twins, thirty pets and no, we don't live on a farm or even reside in a rural area. We live smack dab in suburbia but my husband thinks pets are family and should not be separated from each other. Rodents and rabbits don't understand about incest. It took nine rabbits and 13 guinea pigs before I declared "Family my ass" and separated the boys from the girls.

My mother lives right next door and doesn't like animals. I know, hilarious.

Mother is an elderly widow-woman, still a lady to her fingertips and a very involved neighbor. Her favorite pastimes include arguing, ordering from QVC, exchanging packages with QVC, returning things to department stores, calling the police and keeping tabs on Casey Anthony and Scott Peterson.

Don't for one minute think that being related to her will protect you when it comes to calling the police or returning a gift. In fact, we relations tend to get bumped to the front of the line. Well, I'm always at the front of the line. I have a reserved parking place. But it doesn't take much to get the second spot on the 'mad as a wet hen list', behind me. You can always get a headstart by simply agreeing with me about anything. When mother and I are going at it, you should just stay quiet or you will be in hot water too.

Mother is also enjoying riding in the "I am old and can do whatever I want" boat. Eating Sunday supper at her house now gives me cause for concern because she refuses to acknowledge food expiration dates and is known to nap for hours in between food shopping and putting cold food away. She also chooses to ignore all painted lane lines and stops her vehicle whenever and wherever she wants. She will fight you, if you are foolish enough to tell her otherwise.

You can't make this stuff up although she'd probably tell you that I am. Our lives would make for a lucrative and real entertaining reality show, except my hot flashes could in no way take the intense heat from stage lighting and I have enough trouble staying on my feet without all the wires and cumbersome equipment. Besides our commotion would run off the TV crew.

Von den Meistern des Humors brillant vorgetragen, sind sie zudem ein unvergängliches Zeugnis der beiden großen Autoren selbst. Die Auswahl stammt aus WimS, der Welt im Spiegel, die berühmte Beilage des Satire-Magazins pardon. Die Gernhardt-Hörbücher bei Audiobuch entwickeln sich allmählich zu einer Reihe; die große Fan-Gemeinde wartet ungeduldig auf jede vom Meister selbst vorgetragene Neuerscheinung.

Artist, Charles Bragg brings us a view of his own special reality—and sheds new light on what we know of our own.In Asylum Earth, nothing is quite as it seems. Toulouse-Laurec shares a room with El Greco in «Art Heaven,» while back among the living, an irate «Letter to the Editor» demands that someone go in and finish «all those impressionist paintings—why leave just an impression?»Irrelevant and brilliantly funny, Bragg brings us a view of his own special reality—and sheds new light on what we know of our own. Witticisms, satire, and irony abound, and no profession or institution escapes Bragg's sharp eye. Often compared to Daumier, Nast, and Bosch, Bragg is a master of observation. Once our human frailties are scrutinized by his myopic gaze, we may never see ourselves in quite the same way again! Illustrated throughout with Bragg's paintings and etchings.

When a seventy-something astrologer, well-known for his razor-sharp intuition and celestial insights, decides to get his first dog, he is in for the surprise of his life. You see, this Fox Terrier turns out to be a healer and a mind-reader. And the dog talks to his owner. Join the journey of Mr. Darby and his owner whom he calls a lot of descriptive names as they both make major adjustments to each other. Like how to get Mr. Darby not to poo and pee in the house; fights about eating schedules–but most stand-offs are about control and manipulation. Just when you think you've heard everything, this 3 year-old terrier will have you laughing at yourself, crying in some parts and you might even get rip roaring mad with his political bias. You'll meet Scott and his dog Riggs who becomes Mr. Darby's best friend. Mr. D. will tell you who he thinks is going to be the next President of the United States and why. This Wire Fox Terrier has the solution for the economic problems around the world. He'll tell you about his past lives and why he chose his present owner. Although his Dada (yes, another name he calls his owner) has written many books and has a well-respected career as a counselor and media personality, Mr. Darby wants you to know that From the Dog's Mouth is his book and not Mister G.'s. Let me be upfront from first growl: I refer to my lord and master as Daddy or Dada because although he has never had a pet or raised two-legged kids, he has done his best to whip me into shape, make me abide by his rules and do what I am told. Sometimes I call him mon père or il mio papà, even simply Mister G. He and I have become co-healers in his practice as a therapist. He counsels thousands of men, women and children as an intuitive, using Carl Jung and astrology to wring the truth out of them, and to tell them what the world looks like through his lens. Thank God Dada learned how to read my mind, or as his momma Maggie would say, “listen to me,” so he could channel my thoughts for this book.

Gareth Rubin had the idea for this book after a horrific date with a Polish girl during which she attempted to engage a Russian couple in a fist-fight. He writes for a number of newspapers including the Observer, Express, Telegraph and Mail on Sunday about travel, property, the arts and personal finance. He recently completed his first novel, All Honourable Men. Jon Parker is a freelance journalist published in the Guardian, The Times, Independent and Telegraph, as well as writing for television news. He got involved with this book after trekking all the way to Stonehenge to find it's hardly bigger than the one in Spinal Tap. Bloody Druids.

Imelisel kombel on Kaarmal Uduveere metsas elavatel metsloomadel inimestega sarnaseid probleeme, mida nad lahendavad vaimukalt ja tihtipeale ka sõbralikumalt, kui loomadele nende eluolu dikteerivad inimesed. Lugeja saab mõnusat ja lõbusat lugemist, vahelduvalt tõsisemate hetkedega, kus meie sõbrad Karu, Jänes, Vares, Hunt ja teised seisavad silmitsi elu karmimate olukordadega. Metsaelanike eluolu kujutamisel toetus autor oma kogemustele, mida ta on saanud maal ja linnas, töölise ja teadlasena, sportlase ja ärimehena, abikaasa ja isana. Sündinud saarlasena ja elab jälle kodu saarel. Ei kujuta elu ette armastuse, huumori, mere ja spordita.
