When the going gets tough, the tough eat ice cream. They also keep their sense of humor because laughter is the best medicine in a world gone mad.

In The Good Humor Man: Tales of Life, Laughter and, for Dessert, Ice Cream, nationally syndicated humorist Jerry Zezima writes about family foibles and the funny little things of everyday life. It's the kind of stuff that millions of people can relate to. And it's a welcome respite from all the bad things going on these days.

“Zezima is a natural storyteller, never more delightful than when readers suspect he might be, shall we say, exaggerating,” writes Kirkus Reviews. “His comic timing is impeccable, and it’s neatly balanced with his self-deprecating humor.”

Zezima writes a humor column for Tribune News Service, which distributes it to newspapers nationwide and abroad. This is his seventh book. He is also the author of Leave It to Boomer, The Empty Nest Chronicles, Grandfather Knows Best, Nini and Poppie’s Excellent Adventures, Every Day Is Saturday, and One for the Ageless, all of which are “crimes against literature.” He has won eight awards from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for his humorous writing.
