Humor

Andrews McMeel Publishing

Laugh! Go ahead and laugh--out loud! It could be the hair, it could be the clothes, or it might be the fact that your family and friends closely resemble these. When Tim Mikkelsen and Phyllis Wright-Herman started creating goofy greeting cards, they thought, "Let's just say what people want to say, but won't. Let's provoke, nudge, and push our skewed sense of humor to the masses and see what happens." To their wildest amazement, "the big goof" caught on--and now it's on fire. Happy Birthday...Blah, Blah, Blah is a collection of the best of the best on birthdays. Sometimes you love 'em and sometimes, well, there could be worse things--you could be dead. Remember, it's important to laugh, but it's imperative to laugh at ourselves--everyone else is. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday...Blah, Blah, Blah

Phyllis Wright-Herman

Timothy Mikkelsen

Phyllis Wright-Herman and Tim Mikkelsen started what would become MikWright Ltd. one night in 1992 when they were perusing an album of old family photographs. The pair began to write funny "captions" for the photos, and by the end of the evening they had planted the seeds for a business. Mikkelsen had copies of the photos made, pasted them onto blank cards, and typed the captions inside. hey, girl! is a collection of the best of these goofy family photos and hilarious captions from MikWright Ltd.'s greeting card line.

Hey, Girl!

All ripe fodder for Phyllis Wright-Herman and Tim Mikkelsen. The hilarious pair just can't help themselves as the funny lines pour out uncontrollably. Big hair, high-water pants, dour expressions: All are fair game in these books!The team known as MikWright continues their irreverent theme in two new books. Your Mother Looks Good . . . and Who's Your Daddy' both feature hilarious photos and Wright-Herman and Mikkelsen's humorous yet insightful reflections about their own parents and others. A direct hit for nostalgic baby boomers and a younger market, Your Mother Looks Good . . . and Who's Your Daddy' will be the ideal gifts for Mother's and Father's Day.

Your Mother Looks Good...

Flagrant exaggerations and distorted facts begin to unfold as members of Tim's, Phyllis's, and Bob's families are exposed for a greeting card venture gone mad! MikWright . . . Family Style seeks to follow in the footsteps of the overwhelming success achieved by its four predecessors by being bigger and better. In a style that remains unmatched, the MikWright group attaches irreverent prose with an in-your-face attitude to traditional family photos (which are quite entertaining themselves). This time around, MikWright . . . Family Style highlights some of the people in the photographs through stories and quips penned with the biting wit that has given this series of books its own distinctive brand of humor.

In Drinks Well with Others and Mixed Nuts MikWright pokes fun at two favorite topics: cocktails and dysfunction. Readers will laugh as they page through these funny little gift books and may even feel compelled to lift a highball to themselves, family, and nutty friends.All in good fun, Drinks Well with Others conjures up such images as Grandma getting tipsy at the sight of communion wine, Aunt Violet lollygagging around the eggnog bowl at Christmas, and Mom using four-letter words after two glasses of vino. The spicy one-liners mix delightfully with black-and-white photography that looks like it fell right out of every baby boomer's hand-me-down family album. There's Great-grandmother with that trademark iron grip on her cocktail glass and Uncle Bill showing fine form as an ice fisherman-cum-beer drinker.

In Drinks Well with Others and Mixed Nuts MikWright pokes fun at two favorite topics: cocktails and dysfunction. Readers will laugh as they page through these funny little gift books and may even feel compelled to lift a highball to themselves, family, and nutty friends.Mixed Nuts is something of a tribute to the people who are not quite as fully evolved as they would have others believe. Parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, co-workers-there's no escaping the kooks who inhabit the earth. "For God's sake, Mom, throw out the fast-food condiments already!" "If you can't say something nice about someone, I want to hear it." "Darrell was devastated the day he got his pink slip. He specifically ordered yellow." And those are just a few.Drinks Well with Others and Mixed Nuts are the latest in MikWright's successful humor/keepsake series, which includes Hey, Girl!, Happy Birthday, Blah, Blah, Blah, Your Mother Looks Good, Who's Your Daddy? and MikWright Family Style. They're funny. They're hip. They're the toast of the, well, occasionally toasted! These are books you won't want to re-gift.

Mixed Nuts

it's just what I wanted! (i hope they saved the receipt!)" --momma loves her some eggnog: happy holidaze * For those Yuletides requiring equal parts bourbon and eggnog, MikWright's here to say, "happy holidaze!" Pairing vintage family photographs with irreverently saucy captions, Tim Mikkelsen and Phyllis Wright-Herman, better known as MikWright, make the most of holiday traditions and seasonal annoyances. Nutty relatives, tipsy partygoers, and disappointing gifts become tolerable when paired with MikWrightisms like: * "holidays with the family are always a trip . . . a trip to the liquor store." * "i'll be home for christmas. (and in therapy by new year's.)" * "although a miracle, mary regretted not having an epidural."
