Dad and Leenuts Book

Dad and Leenuts is the comic story of an Italian-American family that has serious problems with their command of the English language. While they never do anything wrong, their butchering of the language leads to hilarious mix-ups, misunderstandings, and comic arrests time and time again. Let me introduce you to Steve Ala's new comic strip characters: Meet Dad, who has been in the United States since 1963, but whose English has never improved. He is a cheapskate and a penny pincher, still driving the first station wagon ever made. Meet Leenuts, dad’s wife, who is a religious zealot and has given everything up for Jesus except her bible, cross, and robe, and annoyingly sends Evangelical ministers lots of money. Meet Alpo, the thirty-four year old son who went to college to become a communist. He’s been in college for 17 years, can’t hold a job, and his penny pinching father is annoyed to no end about all the money spent on a college education and his son just keeps getting stupider.
