Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants (The Oatmeal Book 4) Oct 1, 2013

by Matthew Inman

( 494 )

$8.99

Matthew Inman’s first collection of The Oatmeal.com spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold 200,000 copies. This pivotal and influential comic collection titled 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth introduced Samurai sword-wielding kittens and informed us on how to tell if a velociraptor is having pre-marital sex. Matthew's cat-themed collection How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You is a #1 New York Times bestseller with more than half a million copies in print. Now with Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants, Inman offers a delicious, tantalizing follow-up featuring all new material that has been posted on the site since the publication of the first book plus never-before-seen comics that have not appeared anywhere. As with every Oatmeal collection, there is a pull-out poster at the back of the book.

In this second collection of over 50 comics, you'll be treated to the hilarity of "The Crap We Put Up with Getting On and Off an Airplane," "Why Captain Higgins Is My Favorite Parasitic Flatworm," "This Is How I Feel about Buying Apps," "6 Things You Really Don't Need to Take a Photo of," and much more. Along with lambasting the latest culture crazes, Inman serves up recurrent themes such as foodstuffs, holidays, e-mail, as well as technological, news-of-the-day, and his snarky yet informative comics on grammar and usage. Online and in print, The Oatmeal delivers brilliant, irreverent comic hilarity.

My Dog: The Paradox: A Lovable Discourse about Man's Best Friend (The Oatmeal Book 3) May 7, 2013

by The Oatmeal , Matthew Inman

( 1,292 )

$4.99

This eponymous comic became an instant hit when it went live on The Oatmeal.com and was liked on Facebook by 700,000 fans. Now fans will have a keepsake book of this comic to give and to keep.

In My Dog: The Paradox, Inman discusses the canine penchant for rolling in horse droppings, chasing large animals four times their size, and acting recklessly enthusiastic through the entirety of their impulsive, lovable lives. Hilarious and heartfelt, My Dog: The Paradox eloquently illustrates the complicated relationship between man and dog.

We will never know why dogs fear hair dryers, or being baited into staring contests with cats, but as Inman explains, perhaps we love dogs so much “because their lives aren’t lengthy, logical, or deliberate, but an explosive paradox composed of fur, teeth, and enthusiasm.”

Come capire se la corsa ti sta fulminando (Italian Edition) Apr 28, 2016

by Matthew Inman

( 6 )

$10.99

Un esilerante libro per gli amanti della corsa e per chi non ha ancora trovato il coraggio di diventarlo. Questo non è un libro sulla corsa. È un libro sulla sofferenza. È un libro sulla beatitudine, sulla gola, sulla vanità, sui temporali, sulle api giapponesi e su Godzilla. È un libro sulle ragioni terribili e meravigliose che spingono ogni giorno uomini e donne ad arrancare anche sotto la pioggia o il sole rovente, fino a cadere a terra stremati. Perché ogni fanatico lo sa: correre è un inferno, eppure ha il sapore del paradiso.
