Super Chill, Nancy, Dilbert and Zits
I certainly can identify with writer/cartoonist Adam Ellis’s new book: Super Chill. I also have had ‘A Year Of Living Anxiously’. Make that several years worth.
Have you ever had one of those years when you decided you needed to make some changes in your life?
You start out with good intentions but not long after you begin, things don’t exactly go as planned.
In Super Chill, from Andrews McMeel Publishing, creator Adam Ellis recounts just such a year.
Watch as he plans to change his diet, exercise, seek a more spiritual life, challenge himself to make physical as well as mental changes and to question his own life, moral stand and outlook on life.
Are you feeling it yet? We’ve all been there and Adam Ellis nails what it all means in a hilarious cartoon chronicle of the choices we all make.
The Nancy comic strip has been around for decades. The little girl with black close-cropped hair with a red ribbon and dressed in her black with red polka dots skirt, white blouse, black vest and blue/gray shoes looks at life from a slightly eschew pint of view.
Artist and writer Olivia Jaimes upholds the Nancy tradition with her delightful new collection of Nancy full-color comic strips.
It appears that Nancy is the only one who really knows what's going on. She is aware that she is a comic strip character and cleverly reveals so to the chagrin of those characters around her.
Sluggo is still hanging around, along with Nancy’s teachers, friends, associates and detractors.
For a unique take on life filled with clever in-jokes and jabs the Nancy A Comic Collection delivers. Also an extensive interview with Nancy’s writer/artist and a Nancy Gallery are also included.
For 30 years Dilbert has taken jabs at office life and it appears he will not stop anytime soon.
As a former office worker I feel Gilbert’s pain.
Anyone working in an office environment (especially a large corporate office setting) can identify the hypocrisy, lunacy of corporate decisions and the menagerie of office workers to contend with.
Believe me, I’ve seen my share and Dilbert exposes each and everyone for who they are.
Dilbert Turns 30, by Scott Adams, presents not only recent comic strip reprints but also the top 50 Dilbert comics of the last decade.
Let the lunacy begin!
Having raised two teenagers (a boy and girl) my wife and I have the experience, war wounds, gray hair and wrinkles to prove it.
In Not Sparking Joy, by Zits creators Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman, reveals what its like to raise a teenage boy.
Learning how to confront a teenager’s overactive hormone attack, kooky friends, illogical requests and outlook on life to their unending hunger and total lack of hygiene, Zits Not Sparking Joy is a handbook offering some hilarious advice to any parent about to face their child’s teenage years.
Beware! Teenage life is seen from the points of view of not only teenagers, but parents as well.
What happened!? They were so cute and adorable when they were little. And then...BOOM! Cuteness gives way to irresponsibility, challenging authority and their ‘rights’.
Still there are times just when you are just about give up that kid(s) you knew pops out through all that teenage angst and you realize how much you love them.
Of yeah, wait until your kids get their own kids! Revenge is sweet!
