Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin

The #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 450,000 copies in print offers up a hilarious and entertaining Chicago Sun-Times] collection of razor-sharp observations--now available in paperback

Spending more than 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in hardcover, George Carlin, the thinking person's comic, has made it very clear how successful he is at the transition from stage to page. In Napalm & Silly Putty, Carlin's characteristically ironic and hilarious take on life shines through. He asks:

How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on TV that it's a spy satellite?

Why do they bother saying raw sewage? Do some people cook that stuff?

In the expression topsy-turvy, what exactly is meant by turvy?

George Carlin (1937-2008), a celebrated stand-up comedian, actor, social critic and author, was best known for his irreverent, dark comedy and reflections on American society. Carlin was once dubbed the dean of counterculture comedians and has been regarded as one of the most influential stand-up comics of his time. He filmed his first HBO special in 1977 and appeared on The Tonight Show over 130 times. The documentary will feature a unique mix of conversations with Carlin's family and friends, material from his stand-up specials, TV appearances and personal archive.
