Chapin's World
While the use of humor has declined, the need for it has increased. Since medical studies confirmed that laughter boosted the body's endorphins, natural painkillers, and reduced stress, the humor found in Chapin's World could be a lifesaver. The 'master of Personal disaster' is back, with his reluctant family, and 'less-than role model' friends, to make you laugh out loud. In his latest attempt of Chapin's World, fabrications ran the gamut of outlining his family orientation, to the author's inept deer hunt with his cousin. Chapin also did a little tinkering in his tin shed, suffered more than normal light-headedness on Pike's Peak, and, as usual, received an ill-advised consultation from his beatnik acquaintance, Guru Clyde. The reader is taken from babysitting mishaps with a grandchild, a struggle through the author's military training, to the recollection of a knock-down-drag-out with his children's pets. Be the first and, most likely, the only, one on your block to own Chapin's World: Go Stand in the Corner.

Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge the Golden Nugget Boat
Uncle Scrooge laughed when the mysterious woman offered him one dollar for one of his dimes. But she might just have the last laugh because the dime he accidentally sold her was his lucky Number One Dime -- the first dime he ever earned! -- and now she's about to melt it down for one of her strange spells! Then Uncle Scrooge gets wind of a big gold-prospecting contest in Alaska, and he ropes Donald and the boys into helping him prove he's just as good a prospector now as he was back when he made his fortune. But the infuriatingly lucky Gladstone Gander decides he's going to enter the contest, too -- and Gladstone never loses! And when a mysterious new planet suddenly appears in the sky on a collision course with Earth, Scrooge, Donald, and the boys are whisked there -- only to discover it's filled with gold and inhabited by the ancient Norse gods! But to prevent the imminent collision, Scrooge must find a way to turn all that gold into iron -- or both planets will be destroyed! Plus: the oddball inventions of the ever-eccentric Gyro Gearloose! Carl Barks delivers another wildly imaginative collection of outrageous adventures, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around comic book brilliance.

The Least of These
We do well in teaching and practicing most of our disciplines. There are thousands of Bible study helps, hundreds of commentaries, and many different Bible translations. Bookstore shelves full of Christian self-help books. Plenty of books sitting on shelves teaching us how to worship and pray. Most of us believers practice some of these. When we attend Church, we worship well, pray well, and hear the word preached well. Perhaps we proclaim the Gospel well. But how well do we do the other Christian practices? What about the works? We are saved by grace, absolutely we are. However, if you claim to be saved then the acts and works must be evident.

Students Write the Darnedest Things
Pamela Hill Nettleton is a writer, editor, and professor who has taught writing at top universities for three decades. Everyone knows she loves her students. She's loved for loving her students. But Lord. Their essays. Sometimes she'll laugh so hard she has Earl Gray squirting out of her nose. Other times, she'll feel like weeping quietly into a handkerchief. On occasion, she spots something so egregious she's forced to give up grading for the night and head straight for the chocolate. Each of the 250 quotes in this book is from a real student, submitted in an actual assignment. The punctuation, spelling, grammar, and conceptual errors are left intact as written. Most are from Nettleton's college courses; some have been provided by colleagues who have followed her hilarious posts on social media for years. As it turns out, these gaffes, goofs, and blunders are excellent for use (anonymously in future classes) as a teaching aid. Seeing actual mistakes made by peers, students are often galvanized to (gasp!) reread their sentences and double-check their work, lest they end up in the next edition of Students Write the Darnedest Things. In the end, Nettleton writes, "The students who made these errors of haste, naivete, inexperience, and-I'll go ahead and say it-the passing cluelessness of youth, help us all challenge our assumptions and work to express ourselves more clearly." Dedicated to student writers everywhere-and especially to the teachers who read them.

Hunker
Another in a series (including From the Top, Roughneck Grace, Million Billion, and Peaceful Persistence) of collected brief essays by New York Times bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry. "Although these pieces were written during times of unrest and pandemic, they drew on human connection," says Perry. "Week after week, slowly at first, and then regularly, I received messages, emails, comments, and sometimes even a handwritten note from readers who weren't looking to me for advice or a 'take' on the latest news blast or controversy or tragedy or variant. Instead they said they were grateful for a brief break from it all. Something to go with their morning coffee. Something to read before bed. Something heartfelt, something goofy. Something that was anything but that other thing. Something to lighten the hunker."

Green Leaves and Brownies
Green Leaves and Brownies: A Paradoxical Explanation of Cannabis Laws comically reimagines a Dr. Seuss classic as a vehicle for understanding the complexities of federal and state cannabis law. It features Uncle Sam as the recalcitrant protagonist who refuses to allow the use of marijuana anywhere or in any form. Meanwhile, Joe Schmoe and his California bureaucrat buddy try to find some way to convince Uncle Sam to allow cannabis consumption in some form or another, though Joe tries to push the limits too much even for California. This book lays out the curious conflict between federal law's complete ban on cannabis versus state law regulated use structure.This pitch-perfect parody provides an accessible educational starting point for understanding cannabis law, complete with an epilogue explaining the facts and literary license intertwined in the book. It is a story that will delight and educate readers whether they use cannabis or not.

A History of Television News Parody in America
In this book, Curt Hersey explores the history of U.S. media, demonstrating how news parody has entertained television audiences by satirizing political and social issues and offering a lighthearted take on broadcast news. Despite shifts away from broadcast and cable delivery, comedians like Samantha Bee, Michael Che, and John Oliver continue this tradition of delivering topical humor within a newscast format. In this history of the television news parody genre, Hersey critically engages with the norms and presentational styles of television journalism at the time of their production. News parody has increasingly become part of the larger journalistic field, with viewers often turning to this parodic programming as a supplement and corrective to mainstream news sources. Beginning in the 1960s with the NBC program That Was the Week That Was, the history of news parody is analyzed decade by decade by focusing on presidential and political coverage, as well as the genre's critiques of television network and cable journalism. Case studies include Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update;" HBO's Not Necessarily the News; Comedy Central's original Daily Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and The Colbert Report; and HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Scholars of media history, political communication, and popular culture will find this book particularly useful.

Perf
We believe perfectionism is the gift of Oscar-winning directors, self-made millionaires, and valedictorians.Comparing ourselves to the flawlessly accomplished reminds us of how imperfect we personally are. We create a negative loop of constant dissatisfaction and distort reality to say we are nothing. And that, my friends, is the glamor of perfectionism.Perf: The Unspoken Flaws in a "Perfect" Culture explores what it really means to live in a culture that encourages "perfection." This book uncovers the truth beneath the romanticized mindset of a perfectionist and their unrelenting quest to do, have, and be the best in the intersection of perfectionism, mental health, and mainstream culture.While Chloe unpacks The American Dream or socioeconomic institutions such as education and market-based economies, she jabs humor at her own perfectionism as a student, employee, family member, and partner.By exploring everything from celebrity examples like Billie Eilish, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Gordon Ramsay, to chicken parmesan recipes, to stand-up comedy, Perf points out where perfectionism becomes dangerous, despite larger cultural messages that tell us we need to earn our worth.If you are tired of seeking out other people's approval or want to laugh a little bit at someone else's perfectionism, this is the book for you.
Talkative Man Talks
During the course of writing a weekly newspaper column for the El Paso Times for 20 years, I invented several characters-Talkative Man, The Whip, the Mayor of Trance Town, among them-whose conversations and interactions provided a useful vehicle for carrying certain ideas forward. I took this approach in the belief that satirical, verbal exchanges between colorful characters in whimsical settings-such as, the Loose Marbles School District-can expose the cracks in human nature and political systems with greater economy and alacrity than regular prose. In the vignettes included in this collection, a removal of the disguise of nonsense and flamboyancy offers a window through which the real world comes into view, replete with contradictions, corruptions, and celebrations.
