Wally & Sid are Crackpots At-Large (eBook, ePUB)

A Wally & Sid Comics Collection by Richard Deaver

Beschreibung

A Zombie apocalypse, Aliens, the root cause of Climate Change, a suspected narcissistic cartoonist, and other off-the-wall conspiracy theories are mixed in with a no-holds-barred food fight, inescapable frostbite, and a healthy dose of humorous pranks and practical jokes in this hilarious 'Wally & Sid' comic's collection from award-winning creator, Richard Deaver.

This treasury is an entertaining compilation of laugh-out-loud Daily and Sunday comic strips based on the popular 'Wally & Sid' characters and their off-beat friends. It's filled with humorous schemes, often disastrous high-octane action, and zany quips as they careen off the page taking the reader along on their latest escapades filled with belly laughs, snickers, cackles, and giggles.

Wally, a sweet, lovably naïve friend-to-all, is very gullible and usually the target of his brother, Sid's, pranks and sarcastic jabs. Sid is cool. Sid is confident. Sid's a know-it-all, but Wally does turn the tables every once in a while at Sid's expense.

They're both at the mercy of the sharp-witted author who creates chaos at every turn, and often joins in the fun within the cartoon strip to remind 'Wally & Sid' whose boss. This doesn't always turn out very well for him.

What to expect inside:

· Richly illustrated, full-color comic strips

· A 'Behind-the-Scenes' look at the madness through the original commentary and self-deprecating wit of author, Richard Deaver

· A bevy of amusingly eccentric characters as supporting cast

· A rebirth of the very first comic strip and how it came about

· Humor and entertainment for teen and young adult readers, and kids of all ages

· A special bonus 1^st Chapter of the author's ever-popular, full-color 'Wally & Sid' children's book, 'A Pest at Wiseacre Farms'

The addictive side-splitting humor from these peculiar anthropomorphic creatures is reminiscent of comic strips and graphic novels like "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Pearls Before Swine" where Wally & Sid will take you on a journey of chaos, with sometimes snarky, but often tender words, all gift-wrapped in raucous, merciless pranks.

¿Will 'Wally & Sid' ever get the better of this slightly warped cartoonist with delusions of grandeur, or will he continue freely plotting their next hilarious and humiliating practical joke? Click the Buy Now button at the top and enter their twisted world today.

Autor

Before author Richard Deaver created the unusual world of 'Wally & Sid', he used his overactive imagination to create award-winning, immersive themed experiences for parks and attractions. Born and raised in California's Central Valley, when he wasn't exploring the wide-open spaces or playing in trees, Richard had his nose in a book, and in many cases, acted out their stories. Being young and impressionable, this obviously did not include romance novels. Even as a young, precocious and sometimes mischievous lad whose own grandfather called 'contrary', he developed his unique brand of humor influenced by 'The Three Stooges', 'Looney Tunes', and 'Mad Magazine'. Always scribbling on anything he could find, from homework, tests, and even his schoolbooks (much to the chagrin of his teachers and parents) the constant doodling of this self-taught artist continues even now whenever he goes to any restaurant with paper 'tablecloths' and crayons, leaving others at the table to question his mental health as they discuss important topics of the day. His first children's book, 'A Pest at Wiseacre Farms', introduced humankind to the wacky and popular 'Wally & Sid' characters; two anthropomorphic 'plants in cracked clay pots' that are constantly creating chaos wherever they go. Deaver's second book, 'Wally & Sid - Crackpots At-Large' is a compilation of laugh-out-loud Daily and Sunday comic strips based on 'Wally & Sid' and their off-beat friends. From the self-deprecating wit of the author, Richard Deaver to the relentless pranks and practical jokes cooked up by the entire cast of peculiar characters, the addictively humorous 'Wally & Sid - Crackpots At-Large' will remind you of comic strips and graphic novels like 'Calvin and Hobbes' and 'Pearls Before Swine.' Wally, a sweet, lovably naïve friend-to-all, is very gullible and usually the target of his brother, Sid's, pranks and sarcastic jabs. Sid is cool. Sid is confident. Sid's a know-it-all, but Wally does turn the tables every once in a while at Sid's expense. They're both at the mercy of the sharp-witted author who creates chaos at every turn, and in the 'Wally & Sid' comic strips, often joins in the fun to remind them whose boss. This doesn't always turn out very well for him. Through an off-beat mix of words gracing richly illustrated, full-color images, Deaver's 'Wally & Sid' comic strips embody the eccentric mind of a clearly delusional cartoonist with visions of grandeur and total world domination. His books are filled with humorous schemes, often disastrous high-octane action, and zany quips as they careen off the page taking the reader along on their latest escapades filled with belly laughs, snickers, cackles, and giggles. 'A Pest at Wiseacre Farms', and 'Wally & Sid - Crackpots At-Large' will take you on a journey of chaos, with sometimes snarky, but often tender words, all gift-wrapped in raucous, merciless pranks. Both books offer: . Richly illustrated, full-color drawings . The unique wit of author, Richard Deaver . A bevy of amusingly eccentric characters as supporting cast . Humor and entertainment for kids of all ages including teen and young adult readers
