There is no funnier cartoonist working today than the New Yorker’s Paul Noth, and this is his first published collection. It features a mix of 200 of his most popular cartoons, shared by millions, and more than 50 previously unseen works. Noth's trademark wit skewers everything from government and business to art, pets, and the internet. As comedian Jim Gaffigan notes in his foreword, Noth's has a "unique comedic voice, with its oddly gentle way of exposing disturbing truths." The hilarious compilation is for his fans old and new, and will appeal to the same readers who have flocked to books by Roz Chast, Steve Martin, and Harry Bliss.
