Join Doctor Montana “Monty” Jones, his father Professor North Dakota Jones, and his father, Schliemannian Chair of Archaeology Minnesota Jones, as they race across the 1930s attempting to recover mystical artefacts before their Nazi foes. They find the Holy Grail, the Secret of Atlantis, the Palladium of Troy, and end up spending altogether too much time in Berlin, eating huge German meals.
Follow their ongoing adventures at: irregularwebcomic.net After all—what’s the wurst that could happen?
This book is truly the Wurst (it's not overly large, has a bit of a bite and may well not be very good for your health) and like a good German sausage it is the best wurst you're likely to get.
The book is ideal for people who love Indiana Jones, love making fun of Indiana Jones (especially the Crystal Skull), love making fun of fairly much everything else as well and have a high pain threshold when it comes to puns. Having a solid grounding in history, literature, science and politics is useful but not necessary (the author has helpfully presented a table at the back of the book that links the comic strips to the online versions, where the more obscure references are explained).
I like to consider myself a reasonably intelligent and well-read adult, albeit with a dubious sense of humor, and I couldn't put this book down. My 8yo son became interested in why I kept releasing various eruptions of noise and ended up reading decent chunks of the book over my shoulder. (I suspect it's the use of Lego mini-figures, but he also laughed at some of the less abstract jokes.)
If you, like many of us, have that one friend who always makes the wurst puns, then you should definitely give them a copy of this book. Unless they are likely to take this as a challenge, of course.
