Great Sex After 50!: And Other Outlandish Lies about Getting Older [Hardcover]

John McPherson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2008

"Where there is stress, or receding hairlines and liver spots, there is humor." --John McPherson

More than one third of the world's population is officially over the hill, while the rest of us are quickly approaching its summit.

Be it the ritual hazing of new residents at Spring Meadow Retirement Center that requires retirees to drink 25 shots of prune juice, or the oxymoronic humor involved in the publication of the "1st Annual Swimsuit Edition of Aging Today," octogenarians, centenarians--even those younger and in between--all agree, John McPherson's comic mastery finds humor in life's most everyday act--namely, aging.

McPherson's Close to Home cartoon panel features a zany cast of malpracticing medics, denture-less dentists, and cynical civil servants. Culling more than 100 aging-specific black-and-white and full-color panels, McPherson creates the ultimate ode to getting older.

This review is from: Great Sex After 50!: And Other Outlandish Lies about Getting Older (Hardcover)

This is a very funny collection about relationships and growing older. I like the added color, and the hardcover as well. My only disappointment was how thin this book is, compared to the typical Close To Home books. It's 80 pages, with only one cartoon on the left and one on the right, instead of 2 on each side. Still, very funny, as McPherson always is!
