Product Description

Where there is stress, there is humor." --John McPherson

* Close to Home, syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, lampoons the best of popular culture one controversy at a time.

Everything I Need to Know I Learned on Jerry Springer: A Close to Home Collection is a Close to Home collection. Creator John McPherson's sardonic wit creates an innocent hullabaloo with the Center for Nursing Advocacy and earns the accolades of Leavenworth Federal Detention Center's inmate #19108045.

* McPherson's mastery is elevating the mundane to the magnificent. Scenes of societal sloth, coworker conundrums, dysfunctional discord, and medical malpractice become achingly funny when sketched by his pen.

By	Devine Joy (Clovis, CA) - See all my reviews

John McP is always very funny. The average American can relate very well to the people in his drawings. He puts a halarious spin on everyday life. Thank you John for helping us laugh at ourselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great.S, March 9, 2008

By	Edna P. Klingensmith "Love new Kitchen items" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has some strange humor! I really wish I hadn't bought this book. Some of the cartoons were okay but for the most part I didn't care for this type of humor. It's very weird in my opinion. I hope others like it better than I did. Edna K.
