Publisher Description
The creators of the podcast The Dollop present illustrated profiles of the weird, outrageous, NSFW, and downright absurd tales from American history that you weren't taught in school.
The United States of Absurdity presents short, informative, and hilarious stories of the most outlandish (but true) people, events, and more from United States history. Comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds cover the weird stories you didn't learn in history class, such as 10-Cent Beer Night, the Jackson Cheese, and the Kentucky Meat Shower, accompanied by full-page illustrations that bring each historical "milestone" to life in full-color.
Customer Reviews
So fun.
It is amazing I listened to it in the car and I’ve been laughing nonstop on my way to work I definitely suggest this books to young adults. But be where. It does mention sex and cusses some. But overall an amazing book!
Not a tickling podcast
David and Garry have been educated on American history, the history none of us were taught in school.
An understanding of history is essential to understand the present, and books like this remind us that people are easily conned, that hard work and respectability is easier to fake than to achieve, and that funny is always funny.
If you started with the Dollop podcast you will find the book full of happy memories; if the book is your introduction to the Dollop, buckle in for a big ride.
