This review is from: The Lockhorns: It's A Letter Inviting Mother To Come Visit With Us I'll Mail It Mys (Paperback)

Bill Hoest is one of the best funny men around. And Leroy and Loretta (the Lockhorns) are his champions. These two blast one another in every possible way, and their marriage counselors as well, while delivering tons of laughs.

If you want to have a really good time, lift the cares of the world off your shoulders for awhile, and enjoy a tremendous laugh or two along the way, turn to the Lockhorns. It is a book I have read more than once, and I laugh outloud every time.

I highly recommend this book and any book by Bill Hoest about the Lockhorns.

This review is from: The Lockhorns: What Do You Mean You Weren't Listening? I Didn't Say Anything (Mass Market Paperback)

I love the Lockhorns. Larry and Loretta fight their way through married life like two champions who just will not go down with a punch. Bill Hoest has a really good look at life in all its inexactness and irony. And we can laugh. There is a lot of Larry and Loretta in every relationship and it helps to see the real pros going at one another and still managing to stay together. If Larry and Loretta can stick it out, so can we.

There is real fun here, and that is the main reason to visit with Larry and Loretta. Fun. You will laugh with each turn of the page, and be truely sorry for the end of the book.

I highly recommend the Lockhorns by Bill Hoest.

This review is from: The Lockhorns: What Do You Mean You Weren't Listening? I Didn't Say Anything (Mass Market Paperback)

Everyone's battling couple are at it again. These strips from the 1970's are from creator Bill Hoest, not his wife who currently writes the strip. Not appearing in enough newspapers, this is perfect for anyone who needs their Lockhorn fix.

Leroy drips venom and Loretta is perfect as his long suffering wife. Leroy always criticizes his wife's cooking and once he told her he wanted to use it for exhibit A. In this mood, my favorite strip in the book is where they are eating out and Leroy says to the waitress, right in front of Loretta, "What do you mean home cooking? Why this is delicious!!"

Have a hard day at work? This is the perfect antidote to make you forget your day. Buy it right away.
