Pogo the Complete Syndicated Comic Strips Box Set: Vols. 7 & 8
Walt Kelly's newspaper comic strip Pogo was a platform for Kelly to express political satire and commentary via a wildly entertaining, motley group of swamp critters. He tackled many of the sociopolitical issues of his day: the Red Scare, civil rights, the environment, consumerism. But the strip is also a joyous, poignant, beautifully drawn, and occasionally profound work of 20th-century popular culture. It is such an all-time classic it is hard to believe that this series marks the first time that Pogo dailies and Sundays have been published in complete and in chronological order anywhere. Not only does each volume contain two full calendar years of restored black-and-white daily strips: it also includes all 104 Sundays from the same period. For the first time since their original appearance more than 50 years ago, the Sundays are in full, glorious color! Edited by comics legend Mark Evanier and Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds, with supplements and resources by comics historians R.C. Harvey and Maggie Thompson, each volume has a surprise foreword. (Jake Tapper, Sergio Aragon矇s, and Neil Gaiman have contributed.) Each dust jacket spotlights gorgeous, hand-painted "collaborations" between Kelly and cartoonist Linda Medley, the acclaimed creator of Castle Waiting.

The World Deserves My Children
A "deeply, darkly funny" (Ali Wong, comedian and New York Times bestselling author) collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero. When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn't help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In "by far the funniest book" (Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author) about parenting, Natasha explores themes like "geriatric" pregnancy, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids don't believe in science? The world deserves my children.

A Collection of Animal Inspired Diaspora Proverbs & Social Commentary (Fill-in the Animal Blanks) Book 2
As an adult, I have always collected Jamaican proverbs from as far back as I can remember, and I thought it was time to issue a book of my collection but with a twist. My book is titled, A Collection of Animal-Inspired Jamaican Proverbs and Social Commentary, Infused with Songs and Artists. Of course, the twist is that it requires readers to fill in the animal blanks while enjoying a trip down memory lane with Jamaican songs related to the proverbs along with the name of the artist. The trip down memory lane for me was less challenging than it could have been because of my love for listening to old reggae music and I have a spouse in the reggae musical fraternity. Herma: I have a fascination with any utterance or literary device that requires some "working out" to get the full understanding or deeper meaning in the message being conveyed. Metaphors, fables, and apologies fall into this category, but proverbs are a favorite because they are shorter and often more striking in its effect. A proverb can sum up a situation so succinctly and so effectively, that no lengthy explanations or discourse is necessary. It is no wonder then that proverbs have been used in popular songs in Jamaica and other islands in the Caribbean. If however you also know your Jamaican songs from mento days to ska, rocksteady, and now reggae and all its many forms, you will do not just ok, but great. Let me not stop here. If you know the artists who recorded the songs, you will be in the best position to excel at this game! You might be curious as to why we focused the book on animal proverbs only. My interest grew out of working on my 20-plus children's book series Also, we as a collaborative always had an interest in proverbs as evidenced by two proverb-inspired social commentary books honoring the Pioneers' Reggae Group for dedicating 50 years to the Jamaican musical fraternity. The books are entitled: First Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary in and of the Songs and Second Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary in and of the Songs. In these two publications, not only did we expound on the Pioneers' songs embedded with proverbs; but we also added related proverbs based on the context of the songs. You can see readers, we managed to combine the two efforts, proverbs and music, into this one activity to confound your mind and get you going crazy in figuring out these puzzles. Enough of the chatter! Let's get this ball rolling and start those blanks-a-filling.

Argh!
"ARGH!!" was the first word Tim Quinn uttered on arrival on this planet back in 1953. The way things are going he believes it is likely to be the last word he utters too. He certainly manages to cram a lot in between birth and death. As he explains, "Life is all downhill after the age of....two." While still in his crib, the world of comic books enters his life as his elder brother's copy of the 'Beano' causes a house fire leaving tiny Tim trapped in a smoke-filled room. Even earlier than that we hear how he was born striped due to his mother's wartime diet of powdered eggs causing her to nickname him 'Tiger Tim' after her favourite comic book character. Education under the iron fist of the Irish Christian Brothers leaves Quinn with a diploma for playing truant. They insist on him entering either the banking or holy clerical professions. Instead, at age sixteen, he runs away to become a clown in Blackpool Tower Circus. And so begins a life in what he describes as the world of synchronicity. "I always seemed to meet the right people at exactly the right time." One job leads to another as we follow Tim's hilarious life of ups and downs across the multiverse of circus, theatre, BBC television, comic books, newspapers, magazines, books, documentaries and music. Celebrities abound round every corner from Beatles to Stan Lee, and the Pope to Hugh Hefner. Fully illustrated with Tim's own personal behind-the-scenes photos and memorabilia.
