Prima edizione
hardcover. Condizione: Like New. First Edition. Publisher: Harry N. Abrams, New York, 2004. FINE hardcover in illustrated boards, as issued. First Edition. First Printing. As new. Pristine.
128 pp. Intro, illustrated from color photos. A lighthearted exploration of pop culture's fascination with gag and practical joke novelty items celebrates the history of the industry, exploring the originality, if tastelessness, of such items as the Whoopee Cushion, the artificial ink spot, and the rubber chicken. Itemsa re featured in two-page spreads, with a color photo of the object on the rightm and a description and details on the left. Of note: A trip to the S.S. Adams Company factory in Neptune, New Jersey. From Publishers Weekly: The creator of the Garbage Pail Kids turns his attention to the "once thriving, if marginal, industry devoted to the creation of a modest product of questionable quality, taste, originality and necessity for fleeting high-impact diversion"in other words, the novelty itemin this suitably quirky and expertly designed catalogue. There's the "Funny Dribble Glass," designed to leak its contents on unsuspecting drinkers in such a way as to convince them that the mess is their fault; the "Beatnik Beard," aimed at 1960s youngsters hoping to look like a friend of Kerouac (slogan: "Dig That Beard! Crazy Man!"); and the "Trick Smashed Finger," intended, naturally, to trick someone into thinking you've been terribly hurt. Classics (the hand buzzer; the fake dog poop) share space with others less familiar (a dishtowel emblazoned with morose slogans, possibly designed as a booby prize; a box labeled "Don't be an alcoholic" containing a small pair of fake breasts along with the suggestion to "drink milk"). Additional information on the items' dates, manufacturers, dimensions, directions and intended audience is carefully compiled, making this a delightful tour of the cheap and the weird. Illustrated laminated boards. Light shelfwear. Very good.
