Summary

“This was a first look at Beatnic poetry and I didn’t know what to expect. I’m hooked! Mr. Fargo’s colorful style of inverting words makes the reader dig in and find the meaning behind the convolutions. His fast-paced observations of life are deep and wide. What a journey!” 
- Mitzi Chandler, author of Whiskey’s Song 
  
“Mr. Fargo digs deeper here than in his first volume of Beatnik Poetry. He also seems to move faster! Titles are like the starting gun for a 100-meter sprint through unknown terrain. Each poem reads fast and moves far. Themes are still beatnik themes of life on the road; discomfort with the new when recalling the old; people met by chance; wide open spaces, dogs and Mom. After not thinking about it for years, I am reminded of the 1982 film “Koyaanisqatsi” which visually did what Mark’s poems do with words on a page; reflection, connections and continuity coming at you at warp speed.” 
- Gary Delanoye, author of Checking into the Crowbar Hotel

    Cats Are Weird - And More...

    The bestselling author of the Star Wars®: Jedi Academy series “does an excellent job of capturing the little nuances and movements that make a cat a cat” (Comics Forge).   Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown’s drawings perfectly capture the humor and quirkiness of cats in all their strange and charming glory. Following the success of Cat Getting Out of a Bag, this collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a storm—all adorably rendered in Brown’s immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this gift book is the cat’s meow. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.  “No characters. No story. The joy we get from these comics is born from Brown’s ability to transmit his love of cats and extol the banal in well-executed gags. That Brown has created powerful, humorous celebrations of the mundane in the form of the queasily-commercial, CAA ‘cat book’ medium is delightfully surprising and odd and funny, because it’s true.” —The Comics Journal

    Whether it's how to style out a crippling hangover, behave at the Christmas party or identify the resident perv, The Office: A Survival Guide has got your back when it comes to anything work related.
Is the daily grind getting you down? Does the thought of another day spent staring at a screen while your colleagues bore you to tears with tales of what their cat had for breakfast make you want to scream? Unfortunately, going to work is a necessary evil that we all have to face. But fear not, because help is at hand with The Office: A Survival Guide. Starting with The Rules, you will learn how to become a master of the passive aggressive email, what's acceptable in the world of office fashion, or knowing what subjects to talk about without making everyone think you're annoying. Next, discover how to identify certain types of colleague, like the illness martyr who spends evey day shouting how brave they are for coming in when they feel so terrible, or the one everyone fancies – an average-looking person who people lust after in the office but wouldn't look twice at in the street. A chapter on The Events will guide you through the pitfalls of away days, business trips and important presentations and the brilliant How To… section is packed full of inspiration for slackers, with tips on how to look extremely busy while doing very little, how to suck up to the boss and how to appear "on the level" despite the fact you necked eight pints and three cocktails just hours previously. Accompanied by lively illustrations throughout, this hilarious guide will mean you'll never look at going to work in the same way again.

    This program is read by the author."In 37 short essays comedian Tom Papa reminds listeners that life's absurdities are here to stay and that everyone is doing the best they can. His tone and delivery are comforting, heartwarming, even therapeutic."- AudioFile Stand-up is all well and good, but observational humor that’s funny and warm may work best in books.  And Tom Papa, whose loyal audiences are packed with “date night” couples of all ages, has perfected the form. In We're All In This Together, Papa’s thirty-seven short essays tackle these universal American topics, among others:–Love for Your First Car (“To Buy or Lease”)–The Truth about Personal Hygiene (“How You Know When It’s Time to Go”)–Date Nights (“Will You Go Out with Me?”)–Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms (“Why Nothing Works”)–Pets (“Cats–Ancient Menace”)–Drinking (“There’s no Cure for a Hangover”)–Ducking your Family, even Though you Love Them (“The Lesson of Mark Twain’s Cigars”)Tom Papa’s books make readers laugh, but–crucially–feel better about themselves while doing it.  And while there’s thematic overlap with Papa’s stand-up, with a couple of exceptions, all the writing here is fresh for our book.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
