If you love to laugh, this list is for you. Catch some LOLs this summer with one of these 10 funny Canadian books.

Leaving Richard's Valley by Michael DeForge

Toronto artist Michael DeForge collects his Instagram comic Leaving Richard's Valley in book form, following the fates of Omar the Spider, Neville the Dog and Ellie Squirrel as they risk the wrath of a beloved but tyrannical leader in order to save their friend, Lyle the Raccoon. When exposed, the three friends are kicked out of the only home they've ever known and make their way to the big city for a fresh start. 

Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal

In Woman World, a genetic defect has left the earth populated entirely by women and natural disasters have ravaged the planet. Only Grandma remembers a world with men — a time of that's-what-she-said jokes and heroic mall cops named Paul Blart.

Initially created as a series of bi-weekly comic strips posted to Instagram, Woman World was published as a book after gaining a sizeable following online.
