in den Warenkorb A Great, Silly Grin: The British Satire Boom of the 1960s - Humphrey Carpenter
in den Warenkorb A vibrant history of the British satire explosion of the early 1960s-from Private Eye and Beyond the Fringe to That Was the Week That Was-and its lasting influence on comedy. Humphrey Carpenter's A Great, Silly Grin is both a thoughtful history and a great deal of fun. The British satire boom of the early 1960s created a motherlode of styles and material for generations of bright comedians and social critics on both sides of the Atlantic and set a standard for clever humor that still shapes comedy and commentary in America today. Carpenter's history of that formative era revisits the 1960 Edinburgh Festival, when a staggeringly inspired satirical review startled a public steeped in the polite, bland banality of the 1950s; recalls the appearance in London coffee bars of a scruffy yellow pamphlet calling itself Private Eye, and looks back at the groundbreaking BBC television program That Was the Week That Was. Exclusive interviews with the people involved are woven together with a wealth of comic material, photographs-most from private collections and never before published-and other contemporary material to bring the era vividly to life. Carpenter also assess the satirical movement's impact in America. A Great, Silly Grin is a feast of nostalgia for those who remember its signature comedians fondly, and an insightful look back at a high-water mark for satire in the English speaking world. Working Daze V2.0: Managers and Other Unnatural Disasters - Zakour, John, Zakour, Miller, Kyle
in den Warenkorb This book is mostly cartoons from the comic panel Working Daze. Working Daze is syndicated in a few lucky papers and over the web by United Media. We call this book an extended cartoon collection because it also adds a few witticisms and handy hints here and there, just to be different. Working Daze highlights (well, mostly skews) the trials and tribulations we all go through in our daily work lives when dealing with a group of individuals and a corporate 'mind set.' It doesn't take place in your office, but sometimes you swear it does. This book was inspired by managers and management everywhere. If you've ever been managed by anybody or managed anybody, you should be able to relate to it. Managers aren't inheritably evil, though they often appear that way -- it just happens that managers are usually more clueless and helpless than anything else. When life gets tough, sometimes our only defense is to sit back, relax, and laugh at it a little. That's where these cartoons come in; hopefully they will give you a little laugh or a smile -- maybe even make you say to yourself: Yep, that's how it works! |
