Description

Over the course of history, humankind has achieved remarkable things: the Great Pyramids, space travel, and the World Wide Web. But what about the eccentricities, the famous bloopers, the bits that have been edited out for so long, like pet rocks, air guitar contests, and turkey-and-gravy soda? It’s time to embrace, not erase! With They Did WHAT?!, Jeff Szpirglas awards the booby prize to history’s most absurd behaviors and creations. “What if” scenarios parody ridiculous events: “What if the latest fad was barracuda swallowing?” (Forget goldfish.) Recurrent characters, Professor and Student, engage in a witty banter, offering quirky facts and related information. Dave Whamond’s playful illustrations complement this satirical mix of history, science, and culture.
