Summary: Wonderfully demented stuff
Review: The first cartoon that I can remember seeing was one of Gahan Wilson's: a man on top of a Charles Addam's-type house, waving those flags that workers use to guide airplanes in...only off in the distance in the air is not an airplane, but a witch on a broomstick. That was it; I was hooked. And every cartoon in this
pocket-sized book is as much of a gem as the first one I saw. All of them made me smile; some (like the Sandwich-Man killer) made me burst out laughing. Wilson is wonderfully demented. But what can you expect from a man who was born dead, and brought out to life by the doctor repeatedly dunking him in hot and cold
water. And who is also descended from P.T. Barnum? This is great stuff. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

Summary: Wonderful! A pocket-sized collection of Wilson's best...
Review: This is great - I've loved Wilson's cartoons since I first saw one, and I have most of his collections, but here are most of his best cartoons (including my all-time favorites) in a convenient pocket size. From "I think you should locate the new delphinium bed elsewhere, Hobbs" to "...and then we'll get him!", these are all terrific; funny, gruesome, sometimes even {gasp} thought-provoking. Oh, and often rather bloody, so if you have an aversion to the occasional body part in your cartoons, you might pass by. If not, join the fun...
