A wounded veteran and his service dog take an adventure

¡SATIRISTAS! is a collaboration between Paul Provenza and Dan Dion.

Bill Maher. Stephen Colbert. Lewis Black. Billy Connolly. Patton Oswalt. Robin Williams. George F-ing Carlin… and many, many more.

They are all !SATIRISTAS! -- a cadre of independent comic provocateurs and proud voices targeting political hypocrisy, media distortion, complacency and the institutionalized ignorance infecting American culture.

In ¡SATIRISTAS!: Comedians, Contrarians, Raconteurs & Vulgarians (It Books, a division of Harper Collins. Hardcover), through candid interviews and intimate art portraits, stand-up comedy veteran and filmmaker Paul Provenza and comedy’s most celebrated photographer Dan Dion shine a spotlight on some of the most interesting comic artists who influence and critique -- both subtly and not-so subtly -- American culture.

They probe the minds of some of the most unflinching satirical voices heard today, like Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert and Lewis Black. They query ubiquitous late night commentators Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson.

Veteran greats Randy Newman, Lily Tomlin and Cheech & Chong speak their minds alongside legends like The Smothers Brothers, Tom Lehrer, Paul Krassner and Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

Tuesday Tucks Me In Video Trailer

Every morning, Tuesday helps Luis get his shoes on, one at a time. He reminds Luis to take his medicine. He even gets Luis’ cane for him. But here’s the thing about Tuesday: he’s not a person––he’s a service dog!

After Luis came back from war, everything was different and ordinary things scared him. Luckily, he had Tuesday, who stuck by him, helping him every step of the way. Wherever Luis goes, Tuesday is sure to be following right beside… ready to protect his pal. And there is a lot of love to go around because Luis looks after Tuesday, too. He takes Tuesday to the park, wipes his paws, and even brushes his teeth!

As narrated by Tuesday, Tuesday Tucks Me In, is a day in the life of this service dog extraordinaire and tail-wagging ambassador for all things positive and uplifting in the world. The book takes us through a typical day of adventures, starting with Tuesday waking Luis in the morning and greeting him with dog breath in the face, and then ending with Tuesday cuddling up to Luis on their bed, the last moment they spend together before sleep.
