Vale of Dears - Paperback

by Joe Lane (Author)

Nuns teaching Nuns on missions Nuns out shopping Nuns cooking dinner This classic cartoon collection features nuns navigating the world in the way that only nuns can "Attractively drawn and amusing cartoons about the lighter side of life among the Catholic Sisters" -- The Book Buyer's Guide NOTE: Joe Lane occasionally used caricatures of Africans and Native Americans which, while common at the time, are understood as inappropriate today. These are included in this edition in order to make it a proper reprint. For those who would prefer to avoid such cartoons, we recommend the collection "Nun Funnies ".
