Created in 1934 by the German political cartoonist Erich Ohser (using the pseudonym E.O. Plauen after being blacklisted for his opposition to the Nazi regime), the gruff, loving, mustachioed father and his sweet but troublemaking son embark on adventures both everyday and extraordinary: family photoshoots and summer vacations, shipwrecks and battles with gangsters, a Christmas feast with forest animals and a trip to the zoo. Drawn almost entirely without dialogue, the strips overflow with slapstick, fantasy, and anarchic visual puns. \u003ci\u003eFather and Son\u003c\/i\u003e remains an uproarious, timeless ode to the pleasures, pitfalls, and endless absurdity of family life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis NYRC edition is an extra-wide hardcover with raised cover image, and features new English hand-lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057186029808,"sku":"9781681371207","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681371207_p0.jpg?v=1763693632","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681371207","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
