Minnows In The Bath And Other Doggie Treats

Cartoonist Jerry Van Amerongen has been amusing America for nearly 20 years. First, with his hugely successful panel The Neighborhood, and now with Ballard Street. An intellectual cartoonist with a loopy sense of humor and a richly subtle drawing style, Van Amerongen entertains, enlightens, and makes us laugh out loud. In Minnows in the Bath, Van Amerongen gathers together his best canine cartoons. The droll dogs of Ballard Street are often hailed as among the cartoonist's strongest characters. Dogs who wear hats, dogs that catapult from trampolines, and dogs that outthink their human counterparts highlight Van Amerongen's humorous way with hounds.Through his comedic canines, Van Amerongen wants to share his world."Some of the messages are profound; some are just plain silly. Some are geared for big laughs; others a quiet smile," the cartoonist says. "It's what's rattling around in my brain at the time."
