Since nobody else gives me anything much for Christmas, I frequently do my own thing. This year, I'm looking at a collection of 100 years of New Yorker cartoons from the PBS store. Always loved their cartoons, and I'm hoping to find one in particular from the 1970s. It depicted one isolated house, TOTALLY surrounded by cops, military, SWAT, Highway Patrol, snipers on the roof, helicopters circling, even tanks and other armored vehicles; guys in trenchcoats looking into the windows, FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF--every law enforcement agency in the book--and one man in a trenchcoat at the front door, talking to the homeowner, says:

"We understand you tore the little tag off your mattress."

But, fyi, you can probably find the 100 years of New Yorker cartoons in the bargain section of your local B&N bookstore.

If you have a BN relatively near you, probably worth the drive to see if it's in the bargain section - always well stocked with those coffee table type books during the holidays. Or you can call and someone will look for it and hold it for your pick up for up to 3 days. Just go to the cashier or any employee and they'll find it for you behind the cashier stations.
