Books by Adrian Raeside

"A unique look inside the mind of the family pet from bestselling cartoonist Adrian Raeside. We humans spend an awful lot of time thinking, talking and writing about dogs--and watching funny dog videos online. But have we really figured out these strange, hairy creatures that have invaded couches and beds around the globe? Fortunately, Dogs, An Owner's Manual is here for you, sharing your pet's unvarnished opinions about what you don't really get about them. It turns out that dogs have a sense of humour when it comes to human antics and are willing to open up about the many ways we've got them all wrong. Helpfully translated from Dog to English by bestselling cartoonist Adrian Raeside, Dogs, An Owner's Manual covers such worthy topics as dog breeds (complicated), new puppies (cute but destructive), accessorizing your dog (don't do it) and the many, many uses of the humble dog biscuit. With over one hundred dog cartoons and lighthearted accompanying text, this Rosetta Stone of retrievers will give both those with a new puppy and the most experienced dog people some helpful tips for improving their human-canine relations along with lots of laughs."--

What would road rage in Beverly Hills look like? From the whimsical perspective of The Other Coast creator Adrian Raeside, it would involve a prim-and-proper hurling of a jar of Grey Poupon at the offending driver. The Other Coast: Road Rage in Beverly Hills is the first collection of Adrian Raeside's strip featuring his off-kilter view of contemporary life. Raeside's lighthearted look at culture, politics, fashion, society, and life in general is both insightful and hilarious. Whether it's taking a clever poke at our obsession with wireless phones, our inability to maintain a workout program, or the witty banter of married life, The Other Coast is a bastion of original thinking, wry wit, and out-loud laughs. Much of the humor comes at the expense of Toulose, the eccentric screenwriter, and his cause-seeking wife, Vicki. But the strip also features a colorful cast of repair people, kids, contractors, tech-support goons, agents, pets, and much more. Those enjoying strips that provide more than the "same ol' schtick" are sure to relish a visit to The Other Coast, where folks aren't deep enough to be shallow.
