Rubes Bible Cartoons [Paperback]

Leigh Rubin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1999

The Bible is a serious book, but internationally syndicated cartoonist Leigh Rubin is able to extract some side-splitting humor from some of our favorite Bible stories.

Consider:• What did Adam and EveÂ’s hamper look like?• How did Methuselah react at his two hundred year high school reunion?• How did Moses almost ruin his job interview with God?

These are but a few of the hilarious cartoon stories that "might have been" in this collection of over 140 of Leigh RubinÂ’s best Bible-themed cartoons.

More About the Author

Leigh began his cartooning career in 1978 by establishing his own greeting card company, Rubes Publications. His first cartoon collection, the popular Notable Quotes musical cartoons, was published in 1981.

Rubes®, Leigh's syndicated cartoon, began in 1984, and the first paperback collection of Rubes® was published in late 1988. His most recent series of books include the award-winning "Wild Life of Love" and "The Wild Life of Cats." Several of his other books include "The Wild Life of Dogs," Pets, Cows, Farm Animals and "Rubes® Then and Now."

Originally self-syndicated, Rubes is now distributed by Creators Syndicate to more than 400 newspapers worldwide. As one of the most popular single-panel cartoons, Rubes® is a regular feature in SkyWest's United Express and American Traveler magazines.

Rubes appears in major daily metropolitan papers, such as the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the Toronto Sun, The Washington Times, the Sacramento Bee, the Houston Chronicle, The Orange County Register, and the Los Angeles Daily News.

Leigh also enjoys a busy schedule giving thought-provoking and entertaining cartoon presentations at conferences, as well as professional organizations all around the country.

In March 2010 Andrews and McMeel will be publishing "The Wild and Twisted World of Rubes", the 25th anniversary collection of Rube Cartoons!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flat out hysterical, November 26, 2011

This review is from: Rubes Bible Cartoons (Paperback)

This book really did make me laugh out loud and at times hysterically. Humor certainly is subjective though. So, if you don't like humor with a scandalous twist, this might not be for you. I come from a Christian tradition and did not find it offensive at all. One of my favorites was Methuselah sitting in a room by himself for his class reunion (maybe like 200th reunion or something). So, to the author, thanks for the smiles and laughs!
