Author Description

<p><b>Some good, some bad, some awful, but ALL funny...the perfect gift for Dad!<br></b><br>From giving as good as he got at the Harvard Lampoon to his comedic work in such films and TV shows as <i>Donovan’s Reef</i>, <i>North to Alaska</i>, <i>Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In</i>, <i>I Love Lucy</i>, <i>Dean Martin Celebrity Roast</i> and <i>The Red Skelton Hour</i>, John Wayne was never shy about exhibiting his wry, knowing sense of humor. <br><br>It’s this facet of Duke that <i>The Official John Wayne Big Book of Dad Jokes</i> captures. A father of six children himself, Duke was no stranger to making kids crack up (or at least trying to). <br><br>This book presents those stories of Duke as practical joker as well as willing victim, embedded within more than 400 clever, yet dreadful jokes, stories, riddles and puns. Perfect for family members of every age! Some of the jokes are Duke- and Western-themed, but most are simply good, original Dad jokes: some good, some bad, some awful, but all funny.<br><br>Readers will also find inside nearly three dozen fun photos of Duke exhibiting his good humor for all to see, laughing with his kids or fellow actors on set and behind the scenes, making this book a treasure for fans and fathers alike.</p>
