Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: This unique book brings together low-brow, potty-mouthed, cartoon humor and high-brow philosophical reflection to deliver an outrageously smart and entertaining exploration of one of TVs most unrelenting families.

Review Quotes: "Maddening in its irreverent audacity, this book reminds me of an old girlfriend: iconoclastic and argumentative, occasionally insane but always entertaining, with a soul of which Stewie could be proud. I couldn't pull myself away!"
Dave Baggett, editor of Harry Potter and Philosophy and Hitchcock and Philosophy

"This book doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever, which obviously means it's brilliant."
Joey Green, author of The Bathroom Professor: Philosophy on the Go

"Author cooks up a big bowl of philosophy stew while exposing the Family Guy for what it is; a beacon of post-modernism."
TLChicken.com

"It is a rare opportunity to philosophically deconstruct life's absurdities ... . We can laugh in the face of life's troublesome ideas and attempt to understand them." Associated Content
