2012: THE YEAR OF THE GROUCH
Engagement Calendar with crayons or colored pencils

With the exception of constipated elders and colicky babies, grouchy people are exceedingly hard to find in vintage advertising, so The Year of the Grouch will be festooned, for the most part, with obnoxiously cheerful images! After all, there's nothing to make you crabby like artifical joy! And excessive exclamation points!!!
Covers feature hand-cut images from vintage books & magazines

NOTE: If you're a veteran of my datebooks, you know the drill. If you're new, please note: If you are alarmed by bad words or sassmouths, this is not the datebook for you, honeypie. (I'm not saying it's like a Redd Foxx record, just a few swears here and there.)
I'll add the 2011 pictures as soon as they're ready. In the meantime, you can check out previous calendars (including last year's, right) to get the idea:
Older editions:
2010: The Year of the Tightwad
2008: The Year of the Spitfire
Note: The books shown have already shipped, but this is the look. You can make a special request & I'll try to fill it.
