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.
