Jenje | 3 comments Hello,

This is a book is a ...parody? which was created by Cards Against Humanity. They essentially did a find and replace of transcript of the original Moby Dick, however it is shockingly thorough and has made me laugh quite a bit the whole way through. It's not just "whale" = "clam," almost all of the characters have different names, Starbuck = Kara Thrace, blubber = clam beef, sea = chowder, shore = rim of the Great Chowder Bowl, etc. I would argue that it stands on it's own as a unique work.

* Title - Clammy Dick
* Author(s) name(s) - "Herman Clamville," Cards Against Humanity authors
* ISBN (or ASIN) - 17246 02092
* Publisher - Cards Against Humanity, printed by Ad Magic
* Publication date - 2022
* Format - paperback
* Page count - 312
* Description -
Relive the adventures of Captain Clambo (Ahab) and the crew of the S.S. Clamslammer (Pequod) as they sail the Great Chowder (sea) in search of Clammy Dick (Moby Dick).

The full text of “Moby Dick” has been modified to be 100% about clams and mayonnaise. This was part of a 2022 Cards Against Humanity promotion for one of their card packs related to Clamonaise. Cover art by Michael Burdick.
