Panels from old romance comic strips re-drawn and re-written into a humorous satire of modern sexuality. Salty launguage but no dirty pictures.

The true account of the making of the film "Popeye" starring Robin Williams and directed by Robert Altman. The movie is nowhere near as bad as you may have heard and the book is fun if you are into "behind the scenes" stories. Over 200 photos.

The novel on which the recent Steve Martin/Claire Danes movie was based. Wry and amusing and a little sad.


The Trouble With Dilbert: How Corporate Culture Gets the Last Laugh
Review Date: 11/22/2005


A critical review of the Dilbert comic strip. Is it really as "subversive" as people think? Does it really criticize corporate America or does it just use humor to make the corporate drones feel better about being corporate drones?


Wanda  Hickey's Night of Golden Memories
Review Date: 1/4/2006


Hilarious comic essays and stories about childhood from the writer of "A Christmas Story".
