A delightful romp through one of Canada's most beloved provinces, this illustrated collection of geographical quips, barbs, and jokes takes an intimate look at what it's like to be from Saskatchewan. Perfect for visitors or longtime residents, this joke book is sure to bring laughs to any reader familiar with the Land of the Living Sky.

No history of comics could fairly rank the milestones without first acknowledging the millstones. Who knew that iconic artists such as Jack Kirby, Bill Ward, and writer Otto Binder once conjured racist and sexist depictions of Wonder Woman, Li'l Abner, Captain Marvel, and Luke Cage? Back then, stereotypes were dynamo tropes.

Since their invention, comics tried to reflect on life, but today some refract into laughs. The Unattractive relics from the past now demonstrate a record of bigoted and chauvinistic ideas with embarrassing and bizarre characters that included females tagged as beautiful and dumb and Blacks pictured as semi-literate jive-talkin' street people.

Carson Demmans' funny and thought-provoking book showcases sections about Blacks, Women, Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and a final section that contains stories so offensive that they are unclassifiable. Beware of the raw clichés, but prepare to be amazed.

Illustrated with reprinted comic books stories, cover art, and panels, along with original art.

Strange Saskatchewan is as much history as a fascinating walk through what makes this great province and its people so compelling. Strange Saskatchewan weaves our province's history into an often eclectic tapestry of farming, football and passions. Who knew that this land-locked province was named after a body of water, or that the offence and defense of the 1945 Roughriders had so few jerseys that they had to share. Come on along with us, it will be a wonderful ride.

This book will also, hopefully, scare you. We say hopefully, because hopefully they will frighten you at the thought that these images were once in fact perfectly acceptable.

MYSTERIES OF THE JUNGLE

Once again, a quartet of the best New Pulp scribes delves into the mysterious world of the African jungle.
