Product Description

Richard's Poor Almanac, inspired by seven years of weekly contributions to the "Washington Post," is Richard Thompson's omnium-gatherum of seasoned observations for all seasons — indoors and out. Like the almanac we've all come to know and ignore, Richard's Poor Almanac is an annual compendium of weathered wisdom rendered in the more palatable form of cartooning.

Gene Weingarten, The Washington Post
"...puts Richard Thompson among America's great living cartoonists."

Tim O'Neil, PopMatters.com
"...this anthology is well overdue….As a cartoonist, Thompson is simply a joy."

From the Publisher
Richard Thompson's irreverent and hilarious cartoons have been a mainstay in the pages of The Washington Post for over seven years. Now, they are collected in book form for the first time. RICHARD'S POOR ALMANAC is nothing less than a tonic for the daze ahead.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely brilliant.5
Thompson's art style has such a fun and spontaneous look, you just can't help but be tickled by it. Combined with his smart and whimsical sense of humor, this book packed full of his cartoons is a real gem. I'd be hard pressed to categorize "Richard's Poor Almanac", but that's what's so great about it. It's such a marvelously idiosyncratic creation, that it's in a class all by itself.

I highly recommend this book.

The Almanac of aching sides!5
The perfect combination of brilliant drawing and a great sense of humor.
This one surpassed my expectations and will be severely thumbed through on a regular basis.

Great Cartoonist!!!5
Richard Thompson's collection of cartoons from the Washington Post are great! It's really first rate cartooning and writing... please check it out.
