So You Want to Be President meets The Far Side !
Just in time for the 2012 election, Michael Townsend presents his comic book guide to everything you ever wanted to know (and maybe a few things you didn't!) about the President of the United States. It's full of insanely weird facts about our leaders (Did you know that President Coolidge had a pet pygmy hippo named Billy?), as well as the history and powers of the presidency, day-to-day life, and pros and cons of the job. Even the most mundane of facts become hilarious in this brilliantly cheeky guide to our nation's MVP.
Hey kid, do you want to be president? You'll get to live in a huge white house with a movie theater and a bowling alley. Yay! But you also have to run the whole country, constantly get followed around by the Secret Service, and kiss lots and lots of babies. Hmmm. can't make up your mind? Well, you're in luck. Now you have a book to help you decide. It's full of presidential history, as well as our leader's day-to-day life and responsibilities and the perks and downsides of the job. Best of all? It's an awesome comic book full of crazy bunnies and smart monkeys to help explain just where our presidents do come from.
