A lowbrow cult favorite for almost 20 years, collected into book form for the first time. Though a longtime cult favorite amongst such cultural luminaries as Dan Clowes, R. Crumb, Terry Zwigoff, Simpsons executive producer George Meyer and others, this is Altergott's first book, collecting most of his oeuvre for the first time. Altergott is a master craftsman with a compulsion for the strange; his most famous character, Doofus—a panty-huffing hillbilly with a Dutchboy hairdo—is the star of this show. Imagine Harmony Korine's film Gummo as a graphic novel drawn in pen and ink (but not written) by Norman Rockwell and starring the Three Stooges. The book collects almost every Doofus story from the character's long history, and features an introduction by Ghost World author Daniel Clowes. With a built-in audience from Doofus's regular appearances in Seattle's Stranger newsweekly, Peter Bagge's bestselling comic book series Hate, numerous comic

Other stories find Doofus at the dog kennel watching the animals mate; Doofus falling in love with-and quickly alienating-a waitress; Doofus as a carnival roustabout; and Doofus obsessing some more about the comely Miss Juniper. Why is any of this funny? Dan Clowes, of Ghost World fame, sardonically poses the same question in hi
Great insights related to how organizations can get more from their training departments. If you want to read an engrossing biography of one of America's greatest statesmen - a man who showed what the "Art of American Politics" is all about, then Robert Remini's "Henry Clay: Statesman for the Union" will not be a disappointment. It has bright, bold colors on each page. ISBN 0843107332 - Paddington is one of those childrens' book characters that I'd always heard of and never much cared to investigate. There is no hatred, hard-feelings or bad guy/gal in this story. Compared to the excellent book by Kate White "Why Good Girls don't Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do", this book is more analytical and more constructive. The storyline had all the elements that made my reading experience unforgettable. Now, I am thinking that I need to buy some capsaicin supplements so that I’ll get the benefits of the hot peppers without setting my buccal mucosa on fire.
Another problem is that t
