Daniel Feldman provides a welcome solution to a grown-up world that seems to take itself a bit too seriously. His book, "This is No Joke," nods to the jokes and puns enjoyed before computers and cellphones increased life's pace. Feldman slows things down as he guides the reader to the edges of tastefulness. The irony in his title provides a sneak peek into the back alleys of his brain. Feldman's jokes bypass the trend for contemplative thought and sophisticated humor, to arrive at the old-school slapstick and irresistible groaner. His compilation of one-liners travels through such universal subjects as food and dining, the animal kingdom, and career choices. Nobody is safe from Feldman's humor jabs including lawyers, parents, and giraffes. His book is a great addition to a morning devotion, a car trip, or a bit of fun around the table after dinner.

Juni 1974: ganz Deutschland ist im Fußballfieber. Ganz Deutschland? Oh ja, Ost wie West. Denn nicht nur, dass die Fußballweltmeisterschaft in diesem Jahr in der Bundesrepublik stattfindet, auch die DDR ist erstmals bei einer WM vertreten. Und dann treffen sie auch noch in derselben Gruppe aufeinander. Im letzten Vorrundenspiel kommt es so zum historischen Bruderduell BRD-DDR. Das erste deutsch-deutsche Länderspiel. Und wie sich viel später zeigen wird, zugleich das letzte. Im Schatten dieser Begegnung kommt es auch zum Wiedersehen zweier Brüder, dem ersten seit zwölf Jahren. Offiziell vertritt jeder von ihnen einen der deutschen Staaten. In Wahrheit stehen sie auf derselben Seite. Der eine ist als Geheimagent im Westen tätig, der andere im Osten geblieben und auch dort für die Stasi aktiv. Allerdings ist er im Laufe der Jahre nachdenklich geworden, was seine Rolle und seine Perspektiven betrifft. Es herrscht Redebedarf, und am Ende beschließen die Brüder zu handeln.

Ein umfassender historischer Anhang ergänzt die Graphic Novel.
