Product Description
This off-the-wall collection of photographs is sure to make you laugh out loud--or at least snort inappropriately! Wildly popular since their creation in the 1980s, these classic postcard images are visual puns executed with pre-Photoshop tools. They'll tickle anyone who loves a good giggle.

 Just When We All Needed A Big Laugh June 23, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This review will have a simple message. As a long-time Alaskan ---I say---Buy this book ---get extra copies for your friends and relatives, and even people you just meet in traffic jams.
For too long Alaska has been dominated by well-meaning, but rather pedestrian post cards. We have a beautiful state and strong people, but post cards have not shown our real diversity.
This book does it all! In the last couple decades, these black and white post cards have become cult classics. One or two are duct taped on honey buckets and slightly broken windows in cabins all over the place. But few people have the collection.
Take for example, one of the best of the best--
"Alaska: 10 Good Men for Every Woman." 10 of Alaska's apparently finest men vie for the attention of one disinterested blonde.
Also one of my favorites:"Giant Alaska Cabbages" Forget other post cards. On this card, the cabbages are as tall as Anchorage office buildings. And inspirational: "First Oldsmobile Ascent of Mt. McKinley." That classic Oldsmobile goes where only a hearty few climbers have gone before.
There are many more. If you can't afford a trip to Alaska this year, buy the book. (it's cheap) Then come up soon and see the real deal, including "Young Lawyers Attempt to Pass the Alaska Bar (guess what kind of bar) and "Hooligan Fishing." Fish off a pier for young Holigans (some of whom may be lawyers). Yuk Yuk. Guaranteed to get you laughing, no matter what the news from Wall Street, Iraq and Wrigley Field!
 Pretty Funny, for Alaska at least... June 4, 2003

Loved some of the pictures, but overall they are derivative or strained. Tell these guys to do something new.
