Walt Disney’s Donald Duck Frozen Gold
Sick of the snow, Donald trades his house for an airplane so he and the boys can winter in the tropics. But fate intervenes, and they find themselves flying a crucial supply of penicillin to the stricken community of Point Marrow, Alaska.

Next, Donald suffers a bonk on the head that turns him into a scientific genius. His first invention: duckmite, an explosive so powerful that he uses it to propel a rocket to the moon. Then, Donald accidentally gives the boys a rare dime worth $500. But how to get it back? As we circle back to Carl Barks's earlier stories, the Good Duck Artist delivers another superb collection of surprise, delight, comedy, adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Eighteen stories in all in more than 200 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored. Plus, insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts.

Imagine trying to enjoy a dignified dinner while being serenaded by a bird with a mouth like a sailor!Don't forget Abraham Lincoln, whose storytelling ability was so sharp that he could make even the grimmest faces crack a smile. And let's not skip over JFK's dad jokes, which were so corny they'd make even a popcorn kernel roll its eyes.From quirky anecdotes to hilarious mishaps, we dive into the lighter side of each president's time in office. You'll discover how they handled awkward situations, cracked jokes, and sometimes stumbled in the most amusing ways. In a world filled with heavy news, it's important to remember that laughter is a powerful force that connects us all.So, whether you're a history buff or just looking for a good laugh, Funnies of the Presidents invites you to see the fun behind the facade of our nation's leaders. Get ready to chuckle, snicker, and giggle as we explore the amusing tales that have shaped the stories of those who've held the highest office in the land!Paul Lloyd Hemphill (ChapGPT took a well-earned time off for 5 seconds!)

American Laughter, American Fury
How humor helped white men cast the United States as a nation in which only they were entitled to citizenship.A joke is never just a joke--not even in the eighteenth century. In American Laughter, American Fury, Eran A. Zelnik offers a cultural history of early America that shows how humor among white men served to define and construct not only whiteness and masculinity but also American political culture and democracy more generally. Zelnik traces the emerging bonds of affinity that white male settlers in North America cultivated through their shared, transformative experience of mirth. This humor--a category that includes not only jokes but also play, riot, revelry, and mimicry--shaped the democratic and anti-elitist sensibilities of Americans. It also defined the borders of who could participate in politics, notably excluding those who were not white men. While this anti-authoritarian humor transformed the early United States into a country that abhorred elitism and class hierarchies, ultimately the story is one of democratization gone awry: this same humor allowed white men to draw the borders of the new nation exclusively around themselves. Zelnik analyzes several distinct forms of humor to make his case: tall tales, "Indian play," Black dialect, riot and revelry, revolutionary protests, and blackface minstrelsy. This provocative study seeks to understand the vexing, contradictory interplay among humor, democracy, and violence at the heart of American history and culture that continues today.

I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying
Elle's Best Nonfiction Books of 2024 The Boston Globe's Best Books of 2024 San Francisco Chronicle's Best New Books of Fall 2024 From standup comedian Youngmi Mayer, an unforgettable memoir written with "raw, enviable freedom that simply floors you," interrogating whiteness, gender, and sexuality in America, navigating a tumultuous childhood in Korea and Saipan, and coming to terms with her parents' shortcomings (Michelle Zauner). "Do you know what happens if you laugh while crying? Hair grows out of your butthole." It was a constant truism Youngmi Mayer's mother would say threateningly after she would make her daughter laugh while crying. Her mother used it to cheer her up in moments when she could tell Youngmi was overtaken with grief. The humorous saying would never fail to lighten the mood, causing both daughter and mother to laugh and cry at the same time. Her mother had learned this trick from her mother, and her mother had learned this from her mother before her: it had also helped an endless string of her family laugh through suffering. In I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying, Youngmi jokes through the retelling of her childhood as an offbeat biracial kid in Saipan, a place next to a place that Americans might know. She jokes through her difficult adolescence where she must parent her own parents: a mother who married her husband because he looked like white Jesus (and the singer of The Bee Gees). And with humor and irreverence and full-throated openness, she jokes even while sharing the story of what her family went through during the last century of colonialism and war in Korea, while reflecting how years later, their wounds affect her in New York City as a single mom, all the while interrogating whiteness, gender, and sexuality. Youngmi jokes through these stories in hopes of passing onto the reader what her family passed down to her: The gift of laughing while crying. The gift of a hairy butthole. Because throughout it all, the one thing she learned was one cannot exist without the other. And like a yin and yang, this duality is reflected in this whip-smart, heart-wrenching, and disarmingly funny memoir told by a bright new voice with so much heart and wisdom.

The Dreamcatcher in the Wry
The Dreamcatcher in the Wry, Tiffany Midge's bitingly hilarious collection of essays written during the COVID-19 pandemic, builds on the critical acclaim of her earlier book Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese's. A Standing Rock Sioux citizen, Midge offers up her unique satire about the foibles of politics, consumerism, world affairs, pandemic anxieties, and other subjects from the pandemic years of 2020 through 2023. The Dreamcatcher in the Wry brims with insight, considering pig heart transplants, wedding-crashing grizzly bears, truffle-snuffling dogs, bison-petting tourists--and a plethora of other animal and wildlife hijinks--not to mention wienermobiles, the controversial Mount Rushmore, meeting Iron Eyes Cody in a parade, Elizabeth Warren's quaint family lore, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. Midge brilliantly unpacks her observations and day-to-day concerns through the lens of an urban-raised Lakota living in the West, a writer of poetry, op-eds, church bulletins, fridge magnets, and Twitter posts who is allergic to horses and most outdoor recreation--except for berry picking and the occasional romp through a dewy meadow. Turning over the colonizer's society and culture for some good old Native American roasting, Midge informs as she entertains, gleaning wisdom from the incongruities of daily life with a much-needed dose of Indigenous common sense.

Featuring brand-new 2-color annotations and illustrations, this special anniversary edition is far more than a book for geeks, What If? explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel much smarter for having read.
The Usual Growth Spurt
Important changes took place in 2021, much to Coney's distress as she was discovered to be the only one in her cohort not to have experienced a growth spurt during the 2020 lockdown. This took place at summer camp, where she and her friends pooled their talents to repel a predatory threat. More drama was in store for Coney when she and Lin found that height wasn't the only difference between them. On a brighter note, their crew enjoyed creating a Gardening Fantasy League. Beyond Coney, there were other milestones for the Dewclaws. In particular, Rudy and Fiona took their relationship to a new level after preventing the Dewclaw treehouse from crashing down to group level. Meanwhile, Leona and Carl became proud parents of Savanna, who was rescued by her caregiver Ophelia from a poacher in a public park. Angelique bought the local gardening team, meaning she was now Carl's boss. Speaking of gardening, Miranda Hutch was nominated for the prestigious Rhizome Trophy. There was a spirited production of The Lion King, and R.L. was released from prison. Coney, with new and longer ears, heard everything.

Then, in 1919, he penned his own "small screen" creation for the newspapers, Thimble Theatre, where Popeye was to be born a decade later. This comprehensive volume features examples of all of E.C. Segar's early comics and illustrations, with over 100 pre-Popeye Thimble Theatre Sunday pages including the complete run of the famed Western desert saga, a series that rivals his later work in superb art, storytelling, and humor.Newly revised and expanded, this new printing contains ten additional pages plus a 1920s-style Sunday comics section insert paying tribute to Segar and his comic creations featuring Charlie Chaplin's Comic Capers and Popeye's "The Jeep."Text and illustrations offer an in-depth history and commentary on the life and work of E. C. Segar by historians Paul C. Tumey and Jeet Heer, and best-selling author and journalist Michael Tisserand. Thimble Theatre is an essential part of any comics lover's library.

This book won't fix you, but imagine how cool you'll look carrying it around...Maeve Dunigan has poured a lifetime of effort into seeming effortlessly chill. The results have been ... mixed.

She'll never stop trying, no matter how bespoke things get (was that right?).With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Maeve shares her own misadventures--like the time she quietly endured a ruptured appendix at McDonald's so she wouldn't come off as dramatic--and explores the universal desire to belong.
