About this book
Coast-to-coast readers of more than 150 newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times San Francisco Chronicle Atlanta Constitution Chicago Sun-Times and Toronto Star share Fagans view of this laugh-out-loud strip that deftly balances the tightrope of political correctness. Pardon My Planet: Omigawd! Ive Become My Mother! represents the first collection of this uproarious cartoon that finds humor in all that makes us a little uncomfortable. Lees razor wit is delivered through an array of seven recurring characters each with their own off-kilter look at the world. In one panel middle-aged suburbanites Dennis and Chloe learn from their Realtor that they may have found a home in their price range but "unfortunately theres a Scottish terrier named Rusty living in it." In another panel while twentysomething roommates Jesse-Jane and Norris are dining out Jesse-Jane asks the server how the chicken is prepared. The waiter dryly replies "With no sugar-coating. We tell them right up front theyre going to die." At times the humor of Pardon My Planet is subtle but speaks to a deeper truth. Other times it is flat-out bizarre. This heady and hilarious collection captures it all laying bare the annoyances and eccentricities of the inhabitants of our planet in this strips unique and fresh way.
