Category: Humour

I Hope This Helps is an incisive and hilarious send-up of millennial culture, everyday anxieties, and our social media-driven reality from one of the sharpest new voices in webcomics Tommy Siegel's debut book collection includes 200+ pages of comics, essays, and extremely helpful guides to coping with 21st-century panic. With comics titled "Choose your social anxiety coping mechanism" and "What your coffee drink of choice says about you," I Hope This Helps offers clever and sardonic commentary on our phone-obsessed, social media-driven culture, as well as a series of devastatingly funny relationship comics starring the popular Candy Hearts characters. Tommy Siegel's comics began as doodles in the back of a van as a touring rock musician, and quickly earned a global fanbase and shout outs from cultural heavyweights ranging from Ringo Starr to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I Hope This Helps outlines the journey from the author's earliest van doodles all the way to the socially-distanced awkwardness of the present day. Siegel's perfect balance of absurd humor and insightful writing is a comforting reminder that, in difficult times, there's often nothing more essential than having a good laugh. ...Show more

Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour by Mikey Robins

$35.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Humour | Reading Level: 4 Non Fiction

Rollicking and informative, Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour is your guide through some of the most shameful behaviour indulged in by humanity's most celebrated figures, as told by Mikey Robins, one of Australia's most beloved comedians. It is often said that we live in era of constant o utrage, but we are definitely not the inventors of outrageousness. Let's be honest, human beings have always been appalling. Not everyone and not all the time, but our history is littered with those whose work and deeds have rendered them . . . reprehensible. Sometimes it's our most esteemed luminaries who behave the worst. In Reprehensible: Polite Histories of Bad Behaviour, Mikey Robins holds the mirror up to everyone, from Popes to politicians, from certified artistic geniuses to scientific and mathematical minds without peer - few emerge without blush or blemish. For instance, what are we to make of Catherine the Great's extensive collection of pornographic furniture, Hans Christian Anderson's too-much-information diary and Karl Marx's epic pub crawls? Or hall-of-fame huckster William McCloundy, who in 1901 actually 'sold' the Brooklyn Bridge to an unsuspecting tourist, and the Pharaoh who covered his slaves in honey to keep flies off his meal? Did you know about the royal ticklers of the Romanov court, and the bizarre coronation rituals of early Welsh kings? (Let's just say that eating a white horse wasn't the weirdest part of the ceremony.) And who else but Mikey could uncover the story of Chrysippus, the Stoic philosopher who laughed himself to death at the sight of a drunk donkey? So sit back and rest your conscience: there will be a host of scoundrels, bounders and reprobates, tales of lust and power aplenty, as we indulge in that sweet spot where history meets outrage, with just a bit of old-school TMZ thrown in for good measure.   ...Show more
