A gift book designed to look like a magazine for dads, touching on all the lovably weird hobbies, rules, and bad fashion choices that make dads the men we love and love to laugh with (and sometimes at). Contents include feature articles, photo shoots, quizzes, advice columns, horoscopes, and tons of hilarious advertisements. Packed with dad jokes and parenting humor, this parody "magazine" is the perfect gift for Fathers Day or cool dads anytime. This hilarious dad-centric satire is the first "magazine" written exclusively by dads, for dads! Complete with hard-hitting feature reporting ("What's Going On with Your Neighbor's Lawn"), in-depth lifestyle articles ("How to Talk to Your Son About Growing A Beard"), fashion tips ("Buying Shoes on eBay- A Guide"), and insightful opinion pieces ("These Smoke Detectors Are Too Damn Sensitive, If You Ask Me"), this is the perfect faux periodical for dads of every age, facial-hair style, and sandals/socks combo. Photos, illustrations, and humorous (fake) advertisements throughout showcase all the frustrations, failures, and funny moments that make up the face of modern fatherhood.
