They constantly crack me up. I remember purchasing a copy of this book at the Brigham Young University Bookstore when it was first published. The boys were doing a signing, and, as the signing was at BYU, they had stickers containing the word \u201check\u201d which they pasted over the word \u201chell\u201d on the cover. Unfortunately, I lost my copy during a move, and am pleased Leicester Bay Books\u00a0 is distributing it.** I invite readers to check out their website. Let me say a few words about Pat Bagley&#8217;s cartoons. Bagley is highly regarded by his peers, and in 2009 earned the prestigious Herblock Prize for excellence in editorial cartooning. The cartoons in this work are not political, but strike at the heart of the matter, and had me laughing throughout. One that had me rolling on the floor featured a speaker at a pulpit going on and on while Kirby is on the stand getting ready to strike a huge gong. O, how it wish it were true. Here are the titles of a few of the chapters, just to whet your appetites: \u201cDropping in on Hell;\u201d \u201cCombat Fatigue in Heaven;\u201d \u201cReigning Cats and Dogs;\u201d &#8220;Salvation: It Takes a Brain;\u201d and \u201cTesti-Moaning.\u201d I will simply say, I was laughing at every page. In fact, I was laughing so much my wife threatened to throw a piece of polished coprolite at me. I really do not want to give too much away, but I have to drop one spoiler. If Pat and Kirby go to hell, where, exactly, is it? It may surprise you to know the location of hell is good old Delta, Utah. So, why did I let the cat out of the bag? I met a woman from Delta at the recent LDS Booksellers Conference. When I mentioned I would be writing a review of this book, she got a very serious look on her face. She told me the good citizens of Delta were very upset about the publication of this work &#8212; so much so that the local Chamber of Commerce invited Mr. and Mrs. Kirby to take a tour of the town. According to my informant, the Kirby&#8217;s came, enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant, oohed and aahed at what they were shown, and left leaving smiles on the faces of the boosters. I note Kirby did not print a retraction. If I were selecting the location of hell, I would have picked Bakersfield, California, but, of course, nobody asked my opinion. Look, \u201cPat &amp; Kirby Go to Hell\u201d is really funny as \u201check.\u201d Do yourself a favor, and buy a copy.
