Whatever you do, don't get in Maxine's way. This tough-talking inhabitant of Crabby Road will mow you down! Dressed in her trademark dark glasses and bunny slippers, this blue-rinsed grandmother with an adeptly acerbic wit has gained a solid reputation for speaking her mind in a way that's touched millions of fans who hope to grow old with as much spirit as Maxine. This saucy senior has become a spokesperson of sorts for countless supporters everywhere.This first-ever Crabby Road collection, Maxine Presents the Crabbiest of Crabby Road, combines the best of Maxine's straight-to-the-point advice, her signature quips and zingers, and musings on some of her favorite activities, from gardening to golf to running other people's lives. "Thought about having fat-free weenies at my next cookout," she grouses at the grill. "But then I decided to go ahead and invite the relatives."

Ah, Maxine, that crabby old lady with the perplexed-looking dog who has one eye larger than the other and the rarely-seen cat who lives on Shoebox greeting cards (and merchandise). .These reprints aren't in color, but they're about 240 of them (two cartoons per page).

Notes:

'Crabby Road' is a pun on the title of a Beatles record album, 'Abbey Road'.

p. 12: 'The best part of waking up' is part of the Folgers's coffee slogan.

p.15 'tennies' is short for 'tennis shoes,' better known as 'sneakers' if you're American and 'Plimsolls' if you're British.

p.39 I think this one has to do with an ad for Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume.

p. 65 Maxine is quoting a line from Robert Frost's poem 'Mending Wall'.

p. 68 In the American Civil War, the Union army had blue uniforms and the Rebel army had gray.

p. 77 You may hear Sammy Davis, Jr. singing 'I've gotta be me' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbLlCxK0pHY

p. 82 Now I know that Mr. Bubble bubble bath is still available.

A list of the persons who write Maxine's dialog is on p. 128.

If you're not familiar with Maxine, she's full of malice for all and charity toward none -- but she's funny about it. Seekers of sweet little old ladies should steer clear. For the rest of us, Maxine says the kind of things we might think, but (assuming our parents did their job and taught us manners), won't say. ( )

thank you.
