Hilarious collection of single page comics. I did snort over quite a few. More of an adult book so I won't be purchasing for my library but I am glad I read it. I needed a good chuckle!

I noticed that I make an ugly, annoying sound when I wise-laugh, not cracking up, a high-pitched “HA-HA” and then silence. When I do that at 1:00 in the morning, I decided I hate myself. But this book was worth hating myself, it’s been while since I laughed that much.
I am ashamed to admit that this is the first time I have seen Coverly’s cartoons. How I’ve never come across them is still a mystery to me. His drawings transcend words, they are alive and hit the bullseye by creating the right effect. The jokes are witty, funny and profound. They are not going to make you roll on the ground laughing but they are clever and requires philosophical, literary, educational and linguistic background for you to fully digest and start laughing. Amazing! I noticed that at times the small footnotes cracked me up much better than the cartoons, way to go Coverly! Loved it, recommend it to all the smarty-pants.
