College kids happy to accept food stamps? Men carrying purses and crying at work? Parents hiring branding experts to name their babies? Big government spenders who won’t spend their own money on big government?
If you think American culture is getting goofy, you’ll enjoy “Comical Sense: A Lone Humorist Takes on a World Gone Nutty” by nationally syndicated humor columnist Tom Purcell (www.TomPurcell.com).
In the spirit of Dave Barry — with reverence to past American greats Art Buchwald and Mike Royko — Purcell carves up modern nuttiness with surgical precision.
Comical Sense, a collection of more than 90 of his finest newspaper columns, delivers a hearty dose of much needed humor and horse sense. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes poignant and wry, Purcell’s columns are always original and compelling.
Purcell, also the author of “An Apple Core, a Toilet: Misadventures of a 1970s Childhood,” is a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review humor columnist distributed nationally to more than 200 newspapers by the Cagle syndicate.
