Three New Comics Collections from Andrews McMeel Publishing
by GoComicsWith Thanksgiving falling at the end of the month, November reminds us to to cherish the people, places and things we treasure. We're starting with comics. If you're a fan of Get Fuzzy, Dilbert or Doonesbury, you should, too!
Our sister company, Andrews McMeel Publishing, released THREE awesome comics collections this month!
"Clean Up on Aisle Stupid: A Get Fuzzy Collection" by Darby Conley
Welcome to the quirky-and always eccentric-household of human Rob Wilco. While his existence as an ad executive would be bland under normal circumstances, one mangy, temperamental cat and one docile dog make it anything but. In this Get Fuzzy collection, the ever-popular pairing of mischievous Bucky Katt and tolerant pooch Satchel return to comically define the separation between animal instinct and human nature.

"Optimism Sounds Exhausting" by Scott Adams
Does Scott Adams have a hidden camera in your cubicle?
Dilbert, the cubicle-dwelling drone, is at his satirical best with this new collection of cartoons. Dilbert has managed to keep up with technology like iPads and Twitter over the years, as well as advanced systems like the Disaster Preparedness Plan that has its followers eating the crumbs from their keyboards. It doesn't get any more sophisticated than that.
It's an office code violation to be this good after so many years, but Dilbert keeps doing what he does best: passive-aggressively outwitting his superiors and exercising conflict avoidance. And he is so good. No wonder office drones and workforce automatons alike can't resist the cold embrace of Dilbert's workplace. Buy here.
"The Weed Whisperer: A Doonesbury Book" by Garry Trudeau
Welcome to the age of pivots. Two centuries after the Founding Fathers signed off on happiness, Zonker Harris and nephew Zipper pull up stakes and head west in hot pursuit. The dream? Setting up a major grow facility outside Boulder, Colorado, and becoming bajillionaire producers of "artisanal" marijuana. For Zonk, it's the crowning reset of a career that's ranged from baby-sitting to waiting tables. For Walden-grad Zip, it's a way to confront $600,000 in student loans.
Elsewhere in Free Agent America, newlyweds Alex and Toggle are struggling. Twins Eli and Danny show up during their mother's MIT graduation, but a bad economy dries up lab grants, compelling the newly minted Ph.D. to seek employment as a barista. Meanwhile, eternally blocked writer Jeff Redfern struggles to keep the Red Rascal legend-in-his-own-mind franchise alive, while aging music icon Jimmy T. endures by adapting to his industry's new normal: "I can make music on my schedule and release it directly to the fans."
He's living in his car. Buy here.
