A Million Little Pieces of Close to Home : A Close to Home Collection

Bok av Mr John McPherson
How do you measure a cartoon's popularity? Sure "Close to Home" is syndicated in nearly 700 daily and Sunday newspapers and is featured on a successful line of greeting cards, mugs, and calendars. A recent international licensing deal will bring "Close to Home" products to the UK, Ireland, and the European Union, too. But the true measure of a comic panel's popularity is how often it is posted on a refrigerator, cubicle, break room bulletin board, or office door. By that standard, "Close to Home" wins the comic panel popularity contest hands down. "Close to Home" captures the humor in all facets of life. From home to hospitals, from classrooms to courtrooms, from boardrooms to backyards-there's a "Close to Home" panel that hits us where we live and work and play. "A Million Little Pieces" of "Close to Home" features hilarious panels first published in newspapers in the year 2000, the year of the Y2K scare that never materialized. Of course, that's just the kind of thing you'd expect from a "Close to Home" world.
