United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History
Author(s): Dave Anthony
The creators of the podcast The Dollop present illustrated profiles of the weird, outrageous, and downright absurd tales from American history that don't appear in school textbooks. The United States of Absurdity presents short, informative, and hilarious stories of the most outlandish (but true) people, events, and more from United States history. Comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds cover the weird stories you didn't learn in history class, such as 10-Cent Beer Night, the Jackson Cheese, and the Kentucky Meat Shower, accompanied by full-page illustrations that bring each historical "milestone" to life in full-color.
