A collection of single panel comics poking fun at the aging process, from a syndicated American cartoonist. “Where there is stress, or receding hairlines and liver spots, there is humor.” —John McPherson Be it the ritual hazing of new residents at Spring Meadow Retirement Center that requires retirees to drink twenty-five shots of prune juice, or the oxymoronic humor involved in the publication of the “1st Annual Swimsuit Edition of Aging Today,” this collection of John McPherson’s cartoons finds humor in life’s most everyday act—namely, aging. Octogenarians, centenarians—even those younger and in between—all agree, John McPherson is a comic master when it comes to creating humor out of getting older. Culling more than 100 aging-specific black-and-white and full-color panels from McPherson's Close to Home cartoon panel and featuring a zany cast of malpracticing medics, denture-less dentists, and cynical civil servants, this humorous compendium is the ultimate ode to being over the hill.Show book

In 1965, Paul Harvey, a voice resonant with prophetic insight, delivered a broadcast that would echo through the decades. His "If I Were the Devil" was not merely a monologue but a chilling foresight, a catalog of malevolence that seemed to unspool the very fabric of the future. Here, listed, are the stratagems he attributed to the devil himself:Promote discord and discontentUndermine family structuresEncourage selfishness and materialismErode faith and spiritualityPromote moral relativismEncourage trust in government over self-relianceFoster dependency on state welfareUndermine educational standardsPromote the normalization of addictions Ah, but let us now turn the page to a more... current narrative. I am Master Fewnu, and let me be perfectly clear: any resemblance my moniker bears to worldly institutions is purely coincidental, whimsically serendipitous, you might say. I find myself in a peculiar era, the year 2030, where my machinations have woven themselves into the very tapestry of human society. And, oh, how delightfully easy it was! Humans, those endearingly gullible creatures, have outdone themselves in paving the way for my reign. The beauty of my plan lies in its simplicity: convince humanity that they are progressing, all while they dance like marionettes to the discordant symphony I conduct. And dance they do, with a fervor that borders on the comical. Let us indulge in a bit of self-adulation, shall we? After all, it's not pride if it's deserved. My strategy was a masterpiece of deception and manipulation, a veritable feast of folly. With every step they took away from unity, from the sanctity of the family, from the very essence of their faith and moral compass, they stepped closer to me...Show book
“This book undid me in all the best ways. Everything is an Emergency is a brilliant, honest, necessary book that exposes the intricacies of the human brain while showing us the way creativity and friendship can anchor us. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered if they see the world a little differently.” –Ada Limón A New Yorker cartoonist illustrates his lifelong struggle with OCD Jason Adam Katzenstein is just trying to live his life, but he keeps getting sidetracked by his over-active, anxious brain. Mundane events like shaking hands or sharing a drink snowball into absolute catastrophes. Jason has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness that compels him to perform rituals in order to protect himself from dangers that don’t really exist. He checks, washes, over-thinks, rinse, repeat. He does his best to hide his embarrassing compulsions, and sometimes this even works. He grows up, worries about his first kiss, falls in love with making cartoons, moves to New York City — which is magical and gross, etc. All the while, half his energy goes into living his life, while the other half is devoted to the increasingly ridiculous rituals he’s decided to maintain to keep himself from fully short-circuiting, Then, he fully short-circuits. At his absolute lowest, Jason finally decides to do the things he’s always been told to do to get better: exposure therapy and medication. These are the things that have always freaked him out, and they continue to freak him out. Also, they help him recover. Everything is an Emergency is about all the self-destructive stories someone tells himself, over and over, until they start to seem true. In images surreal, witty, and confessional, Jason shows us that OCD can be funny, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life.Show book
