Review Philippa Rice has such a keen eye for extracting levity and grace from those muddled, fleeting moments of becoming a parent. She shows us how to roll with the storm. (Lauren R.

-Titulo Original : Buni Happiness Is A State Of Mind-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: Voted Best Online Comic by the National Cartoonists SocietyWhat do you get when you throw an incessantly optimistic bunny into a dark, antagonistic world?

-Titulo Original : If You Loved Me Youd Think This Was Cute Uncomfortably True Cartoons About You-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: Nick Galifianakis provides a cynical, yet hilarious take on the ups and downs of love, relationships and pets. Zach Galifianakis, start of The Hangover, will provide the foreword. Everyone knows the only thing more painful than relationships is not having them--or is it the other way around? Whatever, says author and cartoonist Nick Galifianakis. In his first book, If You Loved Me, Youd Think This Was Cute: Uncomfortably True Cartoons About You, he makes the case that either way, the only recourse is to embrace our frailties and laugh. Taken from Carolyn Haxs nationally syndicated advice column, this compilation spins the pain of dating, mothers-in-law, beneficial friends and more into ... the pain of self-recognition. The intricately drawn pen-and-ink panels and pointed captions explore some of lifes most uncomfortable truths, exposing the humanity in our mistakes, the underbelly of our triumphs and the sheer heroism of trying and trying again. Throughout this character study of men and women (and the dogs who love them), Galifianakis mines our hopes and insecurities for a unifying truth: If we cant laugh at ourselves, hell do it for us. Nick snuck me into my first comedy club when I was only a back-acned teenager. The back acne went away but the comedy stuck. I know that last sentence sounds like a lyric from a Joan Baez song, but trust me, its original. --Zach Galifianakis, from the foreword Nicks cartoons are funny, witty, and smart. But what makes them so special are how universal and true they are, making the laughs they bring all the more poignant. Relationships, in all their glory, have never been captured quite so succinctly and with such charm. --Amy B. Harris, writer/producer for Sex and the City Nick Galifianakis understands relationships unbelievably well, for a guy. My guess is he actually menstruates. --Gene Weingarten, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Washington Post humor columnist About the Author Nick Galifianakis is an American cartoonist whose work is nationally recognized alongside the must-read advice column by Carolyn Hax. The column appears in nearly two hundred newspapers and is one of the most popular features on washingtonpost . It also was named by Time magazine as Americas best advice column. Contributing a foreword is Zach Galifianakis, the authors first cousin and the runaway star of The Hangover and Due Date.

The Far Side and the Larson signature are registered trademarks of FarWorks, Inc. Review “Explain him? No. Explicate him? No. Enjoy him? Yes, God, yes … Just don’t o.d. You could die laughing.” (Stephen King) “Cartoonist Gary Larson carries the macabre to hilarious lengths.” (The Wall Street Journal) “A magnificent contribution to popular culture.” (The Washington Post) “Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in between opium binges, once distinguished poetry from prose by noting that the former comprises ‘the best words in their best order.’ Gary Larson’s achievement in The Far Side® is to have pulled off much the same thing in a humbler medium: the best joke told with the best image … there is no excuse not to have some Larson in your life.” (The Daily Beast) “Larson communicates a great deal of information in a few simple ink lines. The expressions of his characters are vivid and immediately recognizable … And with just a strand of beads and a pair of harlequin glasses, he can somehow transfer any animal-a shark, a bug, a warthog-into a dowdy suburban hausfrau.” (The Los Angeles Times) “In an age when black humor is a lost art, Larson’s cartoon is an island of insanity, offering us the perspective of a world where the unreal is normal and vice versa. Its message deep down is a dark one- something about taking ourselves too seriously and strutting around as if we own the place.” (Rolling Stone) “Bless Gary Larson for his wonderful consistency in casting an artful eye on all of Earth’s wild critters, human or otherwise.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) “The unofficial cartoonist laureate of the scientific community.” (Natural History Magazine) “The natural order of things goes seriously awry, with hilarious results.” (Smithsonian Magazine) “Gary Larson is a simple man with a simple talent for mordant hilarity.” (San Francisco Chronicle) About the Author The Far Side was syndicated in more than 1,900 daily newspapers from 1980 to 1995, when Gary Larson retired.

-Titulo Original : If You Cant Beat Em, Eat Em The Twenty-fourth Shermans Lagoon Collection (volume 24)-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: This Shermans Lagoon collection provides lighthearted entertainment while weaving in ocean facts and larger messages about threats to the ocean and its creatures. Shermans Lagoon is a fantasy place situated somewhere in the tropics. Its inhabited by a motley crew of sea creatures whose marine lives suspiciously mirror our own.

-Titulo Original : Waggin Tales A Red And Rover Collection-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: Its a sweetly funny strip, reminiscent of the relationship of Charlie Brown and Snoopy or Calvin and Hobbes. . . . Just the book to pick up when you need a booster shot of the warm fuzzies.-Syracuse Post-Standard Why are readers so dedicated to this simple comic about a boy and his dog? That simplicity itself is one of the best-loved characteristics of the strip. Ten-year-old Red and his lab-mix mutt, Rover, are a metaphor for friendship, and their shared adventures hearken back to a simpler time that holds a strong nostalgic appeal for modern readers. The other feature of Red and Rover that draws fans to the strip is the realness of its character. Rover is not a talking dog; he and Red communicate through thought bubbles. Moreover, Rovers facial expressions and body language are drawn with an authenticity, recognized and lauded by dog lovers, that communicates volumes about what hes thinking and feeling. As proclaimed on the popular family-oriented Web site infodad , Well focused, well thought out, and well drawn in something of a retro style, Red and Rover is the most heartwarmingly funny new comic strip in years.

-Titulo Original : Tales From Another Mother Runner Triumphs, Trials, Tips, And Tricks From The Road-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: I no longer try to outrun heredity. I run to make my own history. ---Nicki, another mother runner ?Every mother runner has a tale to tell. A story about how she realized, fifteen years after being told that shes best being a bookworm, that there is an athlete inside her. Or the one about how she, fifty pounds overweight and depressed, finally found the courage---and time---to lace up her running shoes. Or maybe its about setting a seemingly impossible goal---going under two hours in the half-marathon---and then methodically running that goal down and tearing up across the finish line. Or it might be an account of friendship: she was new to town, was having a hard time making friends, was asked to join a group run, and now shes got four BRFs (best running friends) who are her allies, her cheerleaders, her reality checks. Maybe its just a simple story of the beauty of starting the day off with an endorphin rush. Or, sadly, it could be about how, through the guidance of a thoughtful running friend, she found the space and rhythm to process being raped---and regained her strength and sense of self through every footstep. ?In Tales From Another Mother Runner, middle-of-the-pack runners Dimity McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea share not only their own stories of personal triumph on the pavement but also the inspiring stories of many members of the vibrant mother runner community theyve built on their popular site, Anothermotherrunner . While the common theme is running, the variations that happen through the miles are as endless as the miles themselves: losing weight, gaining confidence, finding yourself, connecting with friends, expecting more, setting goals, dealing with disappointment, figuring out how to train efficiently, clearing your head, reconnecting with your memories, building a better you. Whether youve run more marathons than you can remember, or youre just getting started, youll find the inspiration you need to get out there, keep pushing, and run like a mother.
