a modern
ballet
where
lovers are ground
to hamburger
wives are turned into chairs
TV sets eat people
flowers grow from
children's heads
God is uncovered -- and

This latest three-in-one comic collection includes: "Garfield Hogs the Spotlight, Garfield Feeds the Kitty" and "Garfield: Life to the Fullest" for triple the fun with America's favorite fat cat.

Coffee -- "Mother Nature's Jumper Cables"
Dogs -- "They contain 90% of the world's drool supply."
Love -- .".".is splitting the last piece of pizza."
Exercise -- "My favorite spectator sport."
Mondays -- "The armpit of days."

This first book from Chicago author Chris Ware is a pleasantly-decorated view at a lonely and emotionally-impaired "everyman" ("Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth"), who is provided, at age 36, the opportunity to meet his father for the first time. An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is helped along by thousands of colored illustrations and diagrams, which, when read rapidly in sequence, provide a convincing illusion of life and movement. The bulk of the work is supported by fold-out instructions, an...
