Your mom is Sharyn Cox. Your mom is Sharyn Cox, and the book would like to introduce her. Sharyn Cox has been many things over the course of her life, and the book covers her biography, her interests, and the situations she has found herself in over the course of a life lived fully as a person whose name is Sharyn Cox. Every sentence in this book contains the name Sharyn Cox in a context that is entirely about Sharyn Cox as a person with a biography and interests and situations. The name is on the cover. You've already had the reaction. The book delivers twenty pages of that reaction in illustrated form, with complete commitment to the name and the person who has it.
This adult parody book is the logical conclusion of a specific tradition in this series: the name that contains the joke, the book that takes the name seriously for twenty pages, and the reader who processes the name and then processes it again on every subsequent page. Sharyn Cox is your mom. The book introduces her. Everything that follows from that introduction follows from the name, which told you everything before the cover was opened, and the book confirms it with illustrated cheerfulness and zero acknowledgment of why Sharyn Cox is funny. It just is. It will always be.
This Book IS For:- Adults who processed Sharyn Cox and then processed it again and then looked for the book based on that processing
- Fans of the name-joke tradition who have appreciated the Mike series and recognize this as a natural extension
- Anyone who wants to say your mom is Sharyn Cox to someone and have an illustrated book to back the claim up
- Gift-givers who want to hand someone a book whose cover generates the complete comedic reaction before it's opened
- People named Sharyn Cox whose experience of this name is well-documented in their own biography already
- Readers who need their name-based humor to be less specific than Sharyn Cox in the mom context
- Anyone whose mom is actually named Sharyn Cox and who will now need to make a decision about this book
- People who heard Sharyn Cox and experienced nothing, which is not possible but this category exists for completeness
- Mother's Day... the most specific Mother's Day gift available for the recipient who has the right sense of humor
- White elephant exchanges where reading your mom is Sharyn Cox to the room is the entire gift-giving experience
- Bachelorette parties where your mom is Sharyn Cox is content that fits the evening's existing tonal range
- Gag gifts for anyone who will immediately understand why the name and the relationship and the sentence are this funny
Your mom is Sharyn Cox. The book confirms it. The confirmation is illustrated across twenty pages of content about Sharyn Cox... her biography, her interests, her situations... delivered with the complete seriousness of an illustrated documentary about a person named Sharyn Cox. The seriousness is the whole thing. The name is the other whole thing. Both whole things are on the cover. Everything else follows from both whole things being on the cover simultaneously.
Buy it for Mother's Day. Buy it for someone who has heard your mom jokes their entire life and needs the illustrated upgrade. Buy it for someone who will read the cover, process the name, process the relationship implied by your mom, and then look at you with the specific expression that confirms you chose correctly. That expression is the gift. The book is the physical object the expression requires. Your mom is Sharyn Cox. She's been waiting for the introduction. The book is ready.
