My Dog: The Paradox: A Lovable Discourse about Man's Best Friend Volume 3 - Hardcover
by The Oatmeal (Author), Matthew Inman (Author)
In My Dog: The Paradox, The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman dishes a dog-focused helping of hilarity. After years of carefully observing his own dog, Rambo, Inman has penned a colorfully illustrated ode to the furry, four-footed, tail-wagging bundle of love and unbridled energy frequently dubbed man's best friend.
We will never know why dogs fear hair dryers or being baited into staring contests with cats, but as Matthew Inman explains, perhaps we love dogs so much precisely "because their lives aren't lengthy, logical, or deliberate, but an explosive paradox composed of fur, teeth, and enthusiasm." Hilarious and heartfelt, My Dog: The Paradox eloquently illustrates the complicated relationship between man and dog. In a series of brief musings, Inman's comics discuss the canine penchant for rolling in horse droppings, chasing large animals four times their size, and acting recklessly enthusiastic through the entirety of their impulsive, lovable lives. A compact, laugh-out-loud gift book for dog lovers that will spark recognition and affection for our favorite four-legged companions.Author Biography
