The Deeper Meaning of Liff [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Palm Reader]
by
Douglas Adams
|
|
 Does the sensation of Tingrith(1) make you yelp? Do you bend sympathetically when you see someone Ahenny(2)? Can you deal with a Naugatuck(3) without causing a Toronto(4)? Will you suffer from Kettering(5) this summer? Probably. You are almost certainly familiar with all these experiences but just didn't know that there are words for them. Well, in fact, there aren't--or rather there weren't, until Douglas Adams and John Lloyd decided to plug these egregious linguistic lacunae(6). They quickly r...

Missing, Presumed Undead [MultiFormat]
by
Jeremy Davies
|
|
Missing, Presumed Undead is Elmore Leonard meets Dashiel Hammett meets Terry Pratchett with China Mieville peering through the window (they got along fine until Terry spilt his tea all over Elmore's Italian sports jacket...). It has an intriguing mystery driven plot, dipped in funny syrup and set in a classical fantasy-style world with the mood and magic driven "technology" of a Casablanca-style 30's detective story. It isn't so much hard boiled as char grilled, with a side salad. (Published: 2005)

by
Gene Weingarten

Is God male or female? Why do women, but not men, flush public toilets with their feet? Why are men, but not women, obsessed with parallel parking? Why do women, but not men, leave eleven-minute messages on answering machines? Why do men feel guilty about nothing, and women feel guilty about everything? Was Marilyn Monroe ... fat? These philosophical quandaries, and more, are finally debated in I'm with Stupid, an uproariously funny dialogue between Gene Weingarten, the gleefully misogynistic Wa...

Bear Facts is the product of Mike Burke, who's parents, and probably most of the known universe, sincerely wish he'd done something else with his life. It's a single panel cartoon, as I can't afford to buy much ink, and the situations and characters are different every day, making it much easier to copy whatever funny cartoon I read by someone else and claim it as my own. It's working though, as editors have been frequently heard to have said, "This is the funniest cartoon I've ever read." Or wa...

 Having lured a president into her bed in the Fictionwise humor-best seller "I'm Undead and I Vote," Tiffany Golden will now be lured in turn to a vampire master's castle. (Except that she insists on saying he invited her there, because "lured" is such a stereotype). There, she will find a vegetarian were-Maltese and her alpha werewolf mate, a vampire bride determined to become a licensed Realtor and, oh yes, the prospect of (literally)everlasting love.

Foul Wordplay [Secure Mobipocket]

Jim Carpenter

Some people say that the pun is the lowest form of humor. If so, then it is also the most basic form of humor. (invariably, the person who thinks a gag is funniest will be the person who thought of it first) With that said, we present this collection of "groaners" from the prolific pen of Jim Carpenter. Jim (with tongue firmly in cheek) calls his cartoon work "intellectual humor," meaning that there really IS a gag even when most people can't figure out what it is. So enjoy this collection of bo...
