When Bad Things Happen to Stupid People A Close to Home Collection by John McPherson

Carried in 700 papers worldwide, including the Washington Post, the New York Daily News, the Miami Herald, and the Tokyo Times, Close to Home has devout fans that range from elementary students to octogenarians. As one fan put it, "I feel like you have been looking in my window and are drawing my life!" Though by no means a Peeping Tom, John McPherson does have the unique skill of being able to take those idiosyncrasies of daily life that drive us all nuts and infuse them with razor-sharp wit. With an award-winning line of greeting cards, a top-selling block calendar, and a line of clothing, Close to Home continues to gain momentum among readers.

In this latest collection John features angry letters from readers, cartoons that were killed by the editor, a glimpse inside his creative process, and never-before-seen photos of his erasers, quill pens, and his lucky drawing slippers. Who could resist it?
