Description
This mostly true story, Assholes Need Love Too, is about three assholes from New Jersey who all live on a farm with absolutely nothing to complain about. They just happen to be a rescued pig named Wilbur, a rescued rooster named Raphael and a rescued dog named Gidget. McMahon’s artwork is masterful, and truly captures the essence of the real-life assholes featured in this book. So, whether you’ve ever known an asshole, maybe you are an asshole, or maybe you don’t know you’re an asshole, this book has a little something for everyone.
