Eggbert: Cartoons by LAF

by LAF, Judi Quelland (Compiler)

Eggbert was born originally in 1959, and is back with this new edition of the Eggbert books, to help the expectant mother laugh through her pregnancy. Who could be better to help the mom-to-be than this charming, unborn embryo who spends his time pondering the world and cracking jokes about anything that comes to mind. This 2nd edition is a faithful reproduction with all of the original cartoons in a brand new publication. It will keep the expectant Mom laughing all the way from the beginning of her pregnancy right to the big day when her little one enters the world. (A couple of the captions have been only slightly altered to make them a bit more up to date.) With these often hilarious cartoons, we wish all Moms love, joy, fulfillment, and we provide this book again as everlasting proof that humor is the very greatest medicine in the world!

The premise of this collection of cartoon jokes is a baby still in the womb. It is fully formed, intelligent and is male. In a few of the cartoons there is a twin sister as well. There is a bit of sexual innuendo in a few of the captions, specifically the one with the caption, “One More Kiss Like That and I’ll Be Having Company!”
The jokes are all intra-uterine in nature, with a hint of a birth canal in the northeastern corner. They are amusing, although only if you have the right sense of humor. Absent that, you will find them dull and perhaps a bit offensive. The last one shows the baby the moment after birth when it has been spanked to get its’ attention. This book is not for everyone, yet it contains an unusual brand of humor.
