This is one of those little books that you are gonna find on that aisle where they keep the greeting cards. And as "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" is the perfect book of quotes about Peanuts, this small orange book is right on-target with it's half-wit and turned-sideways thoughts from a toothy lil' beast we all know as Alfred E. Neuman, the face that sunk a thousand ships.

Broken into eight sharp & biting sections, chapters included are: "Words To Live By" "Politics & Government" "People" "Money" "Modern Life" "Sex, Dating & Love" "Business" "Marriage & Family" And, with such moving quotes such as: "If at first you don't suceed....you're about normal" Well, it's like the editors of this book are lookin' through the pages and can see our dumb muggs!

Illustrated throughout by the great Sergio Aragones, the proper visuals are provided to help keep it all outta focus. This is feel-good book for the imbalanced sods that we be. If you wanna mess up Aunt Martha's birthday, make up a fake dustjacket and stick it over this book of philosophy from morons who care about making the world a much better place, and give ol' Martha a good jolt in her worn-out pacemaker.....Alfred, want's to speak to her!
Four Stars!

The Usual Gang of Idiots has stirred up another wonderful book! This is one of my favorites because I love the quotes of the one and only Alfred E. Neumann. Also, one of my favorite MAD writers, Sergio Aragones edited this book! This book is a must-have!
