Weird shape book Ed Shrimp! I am more “The Life of Bleeb” myself!

Maybe it will help her in the long run.

Just keep her out of the Self Help section!

That’s what happens when you treat the display like a game of Jenga.

Congratulations, “Life of Bleeb” just made the Best Seller’s List.

Book “The life of Bleeb”. Love it.

That was already a setup for failure…

… better off with a Kindle anyway… they stack easier! ツ

Where is Ninja Sloth when you need him?

Oy! That happened to me once! Only it was a table with stacked glasses on it..

….I don’t want to talk about it….☺️

“The Way of the Moon”??? Hold onto your pants!

Aka “jenga for beginners”

John is starting to get sneaky in his positioning of Bleeb. Is he starting to emulate Al Hirschfeld?

(Al Hirschfeld was a caricaturist back in the days of real newspapers who started hiding his daughter Nina’s name in his drawings. That evolved from one instance per cartoon to several, to the point where he would put the number of instances next to his signature so his fans would know how many to look for.)

Whomever set up that display – that was just wrong!

What merchandising genius chose that structure for that book?

maladroit see Working Daze

I’m not sure that book is gonna help her.

Is that Bleeb or a front-cover picture of Bleeb? If it’s a picture, where’s the real Bleeb?

They should do that for Accounting Manuals…to see if they can balance the books!!

I want to read “The Life of Bleeb.”

I wonder if, “The Life of Bleeb”, contains photos of his best experiences.

I think there is more interest in The Life of Bleeb than the actual joke.

Bleeb is always watching

sweat

Who stacks books like that?

ME!

I remember when grocery stores used to stack canned goods that way. Asking for a disaster!

“I meant to do that.”

Taking a book from other than the top of a carefully arranged pile isn’t clumsiness, it’s stupidity. As is piling the books like that in the first place
