| Summary |
Cartoonist John McPherson and rsquo;s comics may be close to home, but thank your lucky stars that his erratic characters haven and rsquo;t made themselves too comfortable in your home. McPherson and rsquo;s ode to everyday life is punctuated with the off-the-wall personalities who can turn any normal occurrence into something ridiculous. The only way to read these cartoons and their comical characters and mdash;from naive new parents to devious toddlers and mdash;is to expect the unexpected. Close to Home debuted in 50 newspapers in 1992 after McPherson left his engineering job to become a full-time cartoonist, and today the comic strip runs in nearly 700 newspapers worldwide. His characters are regularly confronted with everyday dilemmas, including parent-teacher conferences, diaper changes, NS spousal disagreements, and their responses are always cleverly unpredictable. The situations are somehow both outlandish yet relatable, and anyone is sure to burst out in laughter at this original e-book collection of all of Close to Home and rsquo;s boldest and best comical takes on parenting. |
