Less Work More Play 2009 Calendar

As Vimrod astutely notes, "All you need is love . . . and gin . . . and tonic." Created by Lisa Swerling and Ralph Lazar, two of the U.K.'s most familiar graphic artists, the wildly popular cartoon character Vimrod has been dubbed the Bard of Suburbia. Short, smart, and completely hysterical tidbits are accompanied by simple, bold illustrations in bright, cheery colors in this well-received, edgy cartoon. Combining wit and art, the Vimrod 2009 calendar will be the choice for women, whether as a self-purchase or as a gift.

The Less Work More Play 2009 Calendar is perfect for the woman who actually has to work to pay for such necessities as twelve pairs of black shoes and chocolate for every day that ends in "y." Each monthly spread features Vimrod's spot-on humor to get readers through the days, weeks, and months they spend working when they'd rather be playing. The calendar even offers a bit of practicality: "I can't come into the office today because I'm spending some quality time finding out which colors suit me" is a perfectly reasonable reason to skip the work and head straight for the fun.
