Long’s \u003ccite\u003eBad Fads\u003c\/cite\u003e takes a fun and nostalgic look at many short-lived popular trends. Whether you are eagerly practicing your hacky sack skills or trying desperately to forget that you ever disco danced in that awful leisure suit, \u003ccite\u003eBad Fads\u003c\/cite\u003e has something for you. Covering just about everything, from fashion to collectibles to activities to events, \u003ccite\u003eBad Fads\u003c\/cite\u003e takes you on a stroll down memory lane and reminds you of the fun-filled (and often embarrassing) times of the past decades. You may remember that in the 1970s the term “bad” meant “good” to those in the know, and so it is with fads throughout the years. While children tease their parents for the bellbottoms and platform shoes they once wore, parents laugh right back when their old rags come back in style and those same kids are digging through the attic for a “new” wardrobe. From 3-D movies to zoot suits, Mark A. Long’s \u003ccite\u003eBad Fads\u003c\/cite\u003e takes a fresh and funny look at the games, gags, dances, and styles of yesterday. \u003ccite\u003eBad Fads\u003c\/cite\u003e will keep you laughing at our outrageous attempts to be cool.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark A.

This classic American comic strip has been entertaining newspaper readers for over five decades. The stars of the feature — Hi, Lois, Chip, Dot, Trixie, and Dawg Flagston — provide a warm, loving portrait of a wholesome family with traditional values and modern-day sensibilities. In today’s often dysfunctional world, the Flagstons put the “fun” into functional family.

Mort and Dik always looked on these weekly instalments as an opportunity to showcase their best work. To them, a Sunday page was more than just an expanded daily strip. Mort would challenge Dik with ideas that inspired him to create a graphic masterpiece. Childhood fantasies, nostalgia trips, seasonal strolls, summer vacations, and holiday celebrations were among the many recurrent themes explored in these episodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tradition of Hi and Lois is continued today by their sons \u003cstrong\u003eBrian\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGreg Walker\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eChance Browne\u003c\/strong\u003e .

Nulman names the names, dishes the dirt, and spews outrageously hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Here’s a sampling: there’s the time he came within two inches of killing George Burns; John Candy almost killed him — twice; he was strangled by Jerry Lewis and publicly humiliated by Roseanne; a nude man with fireworks in his butt shot Tim Allen to fame; he was reprimanded by Bea Arthur for booking an offensive act; a demonic disc jockey cost him a multi-million dollar TV contract.  The book features some of today’s most recognized showbiz stars, including: Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Drew Carey, Kelsey Grammer, Ray Romano, Kevin James, Mary Tyler Moore, Lily Tomlin, Jerry Springer, Howie Mandel, Chris Rock, Chuck Jones, Bob Newhart, Jay Leno, and David Hyde Pierce. \u003ccite\u003eI Almost Killed George Burns!\u003c\/cite\u003e features forewords by the legendary Don Rickles and George Schlatter, and back-cover quotes from Kevin “King of Queens” James and David Hyde Pierce.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eandy nulman\u003c\/strong\u003e has been professionally involved in show business since the age of 16.  In addition to his career as ceo of the Just For Laughs Festival, Andy has produced over 150 television shows.

A person needs to work, you know? But he’s had to step things up a bit. Were the letters not insane enough? Was he not sad or stupid enough?

When she discovers a teen magazine from the 1970s, it sparks her imagination and her life finally seems to come into focus; but as she learns more about how women were treated behind the scenes, she has to decide what to do. How to be true to herself, as chaotic as she believes herself to be; how to be good to those around her; how to survive as a young woman in the still messy media culture of 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprising, sexy, and hilarious, \u003ci\u003eGood Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is a thoughtful and endearing portrait of a young woman unsure of what she’s supposed to want from a world where the rules keep changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna Fitzpatrick is a Toronto-based writer.

Sex, friendship, family, work—who knows what to make of any of it? Anna Fitzpatrick's debut is both funny and titillating, and, like so few early sexual encounters, totally satisfying.” —Emma Straub, author of \u003ci\u003eAll Adults Here\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eModern Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“On feminism, loneliness, and the question of kink, Anna Fitzpatrick bluntly probes the contradictions of sex-positive culture, baring the many ways that shame feeds arousal. \u003ci\u003eGood Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is a sensitive girl's hardcore.”—Tamara Faith Berger, author of \u003ci\u003eQueen Solomon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Anna Fitzpatrick has accomplished an incredible balancing act. \u003ci\u003eGood Girl\u003c\/i\u003e manages to depict sex and sexuality that is both painful in the way Lucy wants it to be and painful in the awkward and hilarious reality of what it means to navigate relationships and life. In addition to the sex (and there’s a lot of sex), it’s also a story about friendship, the malaise of young adulthood, and, of course, 1970s magazines.
