Fluffy Humpy Poopy Puppy: A Ruff, Dog-Eared Look at Man's Best Friend

A canine companion to the successful Happy Kitty Bunny Pony, Fluffy Humpy Poopy Puppy is a humorous celebration of "man's best friend."

From Toto to Lassie to Benji and beyond, the dog has thrived in the soil of American modern-age media and pop culture. What is it about dogs anyway ? Fluffy Humpy Poopy Puppy is a loving tribute to man's oldest and yes, smelliest, friends. Containing over 200 images from the print and advertising archives of the Charles S. Anderson Design Company in combination with a hilarious text by the legendary Michael J. Nelson, this book is an amazingly rich and weird testament to the appeal of kitsch and America’s love of the canine companion.
