John McPherson's ultra-popular cartoon panel Close to Home is bizarre, deranged, brilliant, and outrageously amusing. From the boy who gets fang implants to attract vampire-crazed females, to the mom-to-be who wallpapers her baby's room with its ultrasound photo, to the girl who keeps her python, Howie in her purse in case her dates act inappropriately, zany characters combine with John's twisted sense of humor to help make this cartoon one of a kind. Close to Home appears in more than 700 newspapers internationally. John McPherson has published twenty-two cartoon collections including his newest release, Women Are from Venus Men Are Idiots. This is the seventeenth year for the Close to Home day-to-day calendar. Each page features a classic and colorful Close to Home cartoon. Color on every page!.
