Did I tell you about this before . . .  ?

Eggbert by LAF . . . Just who is LAF?

LAF is actually Lester A. Friedman, a businessman who loved drawing cartoons on cocktail napkins.  In fact, that’s how Eggbert was born. He came to the attention of Mr. Percy Barker who was the owner of Monogram of California, a company that printed humorous cocktail napkins (among other things). Eggbert’s cocktail napkins were an instant hit.  They were so much of a hit that, in 1959, the first Eggbert book was published. Seems so long ago but the humor in these cartoons is every bit as great now as it was then. A few of the cartoon captions have been updated to be more topical, but the majority of them remain the same.

More about the Eggbert books . . .

A little about the Eggbert books . . .

All the Eggbert books, new and original, say “Cartoons by LAF” on the covers. LAF is actually Lester E. Friedman, a San Francisco businessman whose idle doodling led to the delightful Eggbert cartoons which first saw the light of day on cocktail napkins published by Monogram of California, owned by Percy Barker.

The original books can still be found on both eBay and Amazon. But you need to be careful if you are interested in buying the originals. Most of the new books I’m offering through Amazon also have available used copies. If you look closely at the descriptions of these used books, you will find that they are actually the originals – be sure to note the publishing dates and especially how they are described.

I have contacted some of these booksellers to let them know that there IS a difference but there’s so many, I finally gave up doing that. ALL of the new books will have a border on the front and back covers ... mainly so they will be easily distinguishable from the original books. ALSO … at the bottom of the new book front covers it says … “EGGBERT’S DIARY For Expectant Moms”.

Confused? I hope not!

DID YOU KNOW . . . the first original Eggbert book was published in 1959? It's amazing that most of the humor then is still funny today.  The following is from tha first book (AND it's in the new book too!)

Book 1  --  EGGBERT    (1959)

AT LONG LAST posterity gets a chance to speak up for itself, and EGGBERT is vocal in a side-splitting and rib-tickling manner. He was sired by LAF, a name contrived from the initials of a prominent San Francisco business executive whose idle doodling led to the birth of EGGBERT in a series of humorous cocktail napkins produced by Percy Barker’s Monogram Company.

While rubbing funny bones with such established comics as Dennis the Menace, O’Malley’s Nuns and Brother Juniper, EGGBERT elbowed his way into this book and proved to be so real that the author is suspected of editorial collaboration with his wife, a proud mother of two children.

EGGBERT spends his embryonic days pondering the world-to-be and cracking jokes about everything from his conception to the shock of the obstetrician’s spank. We hope that if other embryos are too young to read and identify with EGGBERT’s views, at least their mothers will sympathize and gain better understanding of humanity’s most exciting experience – one that is infused with laughter, good humor and good will.

 

 

More Eggbert Books . . .

Well, not really more ... just different.  The really cool thing about the Eggbert books that are available through CafePress is the binding ... it's called Wire-O and it enables the books to lay completely flat ... MUCH easier to write in!  Each of them have around 50 of the cartoons from the original book plus plenty of room for the mom-to-be to write in.

    This one you can find HERE .
