Ever had a tranq slipped into your twanky? Ever come across a pawky chouser that was adept at loo? Or (and I promise, this is the last one), have you ever swilled skookum saloop? If your answer to all of the above is a resounding no and you’re curious as to what those bizarre words mean, then Pukka & Fremd is the book for you.
Pukka & Fremd is not, as you might guess, a popular comedic team from the 1950s, or a 60s folk music group. Pukka & Fremd (genuine & strange) is a collection of 100 unique cartoons by syndicated and award-winning cartoonist, Doug Pike.
For years, Doug was an avid Scrabble player, as well as the cartoonist for the National Scrabble Association’s Scrabble News. As an aid to remembering obscure words and their parts of speech, he came up with these remarkable cartoons. As weird as the words are, the drawings are even stranger. Combined, they provide a useful mnemonic for those who enjoy word games and puzzles. For everyone else, they’re just plain fun!

I love humor books, cartoon books - anything that makes me smile. This one looked interesting, and promising: unusual words paired with humorous drawings. As a former Scrabble addict (not a champion - just a junkie of sorts), I was excited by the premise, but surprised to find cartoon captions cobbled together using such uncommon, special words. Very clever. But what really grabbed me, and what compelled me to write this review, is the fantastic artwork. Cartoons, these are not. Very special, very unique drawings, yes. I would say what Mr. Pike has created here could best be described as a melding of Gahan Wilson's macabre, emotion-kindling crosshatch style, and M.C. Escher's unique, improbable perspective approach. If they had a love-child, I think this is him. This is a great book to revisit time and again; it's fun to attempt an understanding of the absurd humor, and even more fun to sit with, and relish, the incredible illustrations.Product details
