NEW Arrival: Over-the-Hill and Lovin’ It!
A NEW Book that Looks at the Humorous Side of Growing Older

  

Minneapolis (February 3, 2009) – Get ready to laugh! Over-the-Hill and Lovin’ It! is a new laugh-out-loud collection of cartoons, quotes, jokes, and trivia about growing older by cartoonist Ed Fischer, who’s cartoons are syndicated in 120 newspapers and have won 28 awardsOver-the-Hill and Lovin’ It! features 65 hilarious over-the-hill cartoons and over 200 anecdotes, as well as nostalgic trivia (remember a three-cent stamp?) and quizzes testing readers’ memories about old-time commercials and television shows. Over-the-Hill and Lovin’ It! is the perfect gift for an over-the-hill birthday and the perfect way to celebrate the lighter side of growing older.
 
 
 
Here are just a few ideas to bring the laughter to your audience:
  • If you find yourself smiling after reading a few quotes or jokes, then let your audience know how much fun they would be to share on a birthday or after a “senior moment.”
  • Schedule an interview with Ed Fischer to discuss how he uses humor in his daily life and in growing older.
  • Discuss your favorite cartoon, quote, joke, or trivia question from the book and encourage your audience to submit their most memorable “senior moments” via your website (a possible give-away opportunity).
 
Ed Fischer is an award-winning, older (but good looking) cartoonist from Rochester, MN. He is also the co-author of What’s So Funny about Getting Old? and the illustrator of It’s Great to Be Old.
 
To request a copy of Over-the-Hill and Lovin’ It! ($7.00; Meadowbrook Press) or to schedule an interview with Ed Fischer, call Alison London, Meadowbrook Press, at 800 338-2232, ext. 110, email her at alondon@meadowbrookpress.com.
