And the award for worst dad ever still goes to . . .The Handbook to Lazy Parenting is the bestselling cartoonist Guy Delisles final tribute to the frequently hilarious and absurd situations that any parent will find themselves in when raising young childrenall told with his trademark sarcastic wit. But even as his children grow older, wiser, and less interested in their fathers antics, Delisle has no shortage of badparenting stories, only now, sometimes the joke is on him!From trying to convince Louis to play video games instead of letting him do his homework, to forgetting Alice in a stationery store after buying a pen, to tricking the kids out of dessert to make up for his own blunder, Delisle tells relatable stories of parenthood, the mistakes we have trouble admitting to, and the impulse that we all sometimes have to give a comically serious answer to a childs comically serious question.With impressive timing and pacing in these lighthearted vignettes, Delisle delivers his gutwrenchingly funny punch lines in selfdeprecating fashion, letting everyone know who is ultimately the butt of the joke. The Handbook to Lazy Parenting will delight parents, of course, but also anyone who has raised or known an inquisitive child and needs some pro tips on being, well, a bad dad!
