Home: The Final Frontier

by John McPherson

These characters' eyes bug out--and whose wouldn't! In the world that's Close to Home , amazing things usually happen. Like the Zalcon Pest Control man who finds beaver dams in his client's bathtub. "That explains the missing legs to your coffee table," the expert says. Or the surprised couple who watches as a bus unloads in their front yard with a banner blazing "The Relatives of Ed & Sue Vosburg Totally Unannounced Tour."

In this Close to Home collection, The Final Frontier , cartoonist John McPherson draws a side of life that's way out there, revealing his bizarre take on wild and wacky situations that just might happen in a parallel universe. His quirky style alone makes fans double over, but McPherson's sly observations keep them laughing long afterwards.
