A suggestion or four
Some holiday gifties for the folks who already have everything else.
City Limit Garden Tools
Gleaned from holiday resources at HGTV. Garden tools for the gardener who has everything else. However, according to an HGTV source, the little trowels make dandy ice cream scoops. That’s the idea that appeals to my sense of fun. Not as if ice cream scooping isn’t already fun enough....
Chandelier Hummingbird Feeder
A little pricey, but think of it as back yard art. Give one to the birder who has everything—except one of these.
Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel
“...Geisel’s work as a political cartoonist for the New York daily newspaper PM during World War II. In these trenchant cartoons, Geisel captured the Zeitgeist — especially the attitudes of the New Deal liberals who read PM — with signature Seussian flair. Dr. Seuss Goes to War features handsome, large-format reproductions of almost 200 of the best of Geisel’s cartoons from this time. The cartoons savage Hitler, Japan, Stalin, Mussolini, and “isolationist” leaders such as Charles Lindbergh. They exhort readers to give full support to the war effort, put up with shortages, buy U. S. savings bonds, and help control inflation. They are sharply critical of anti-Semitism and anti-black racism — and, shockingly, undeniably racist in their portrayal of Japanese Americans...” We have this book and as the blurb says, it captures the Zeitgeist of the times. Not politically correct by today’s standards—at all—but very much a reflection of the WWII era. One of my favorites.
Complete Pogo Vol 2
“Volume 10 enters the golden years of the Pogo dailies with a stretch of strips from March to October, 1953, including a compelling and dangerous (for its time) McCarthyism sequence.” I loves my Pogo. Turn someone else on to him, too.
