(While they're hard at work, you can reserve your copy today.)
SLIDE SHOW part three
An American in Paris! Can I buy you a fancy lunch? Snails? How do you work this thing!?! Oh boy… that's right! Even though I was upright my fingers were fast asleep. Wish I could tell you these were the only misfires on my camera… These photos are from my second day in Paris. I woke up at 7am (10pm Seattle time) and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast of a large roll, croissant, cereal and… another croissant. For the record, every morning I consumed AT LEAST 3 to 4 members of the bread family. My plan for the day was to…

Now in stock: Humbug by Harvey Kurtzman et al.
Humbug By Harvey Kurtzman et al. Harvey Kurtzman changed the face of American humor when he created the legendary MAD comic. As editor and chief writer from its inception in 1952, through its transformation into a slick magazine, and until he left MAD in 1956, he influenced an entire generation of cartoonists, comedians, and filmmakers.

Now in stock: The Complete Peanuts 1971-1972 (Vol. 11) by Charles M. Schulz
The Complete Peanuts 1971-1972 (Vol. 11) By Charles M. Schulz Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women’s Liberation and “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex” (!) aside, these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was.
