Witty submitted by Sara W on July 24, 2012, 8:58am Bruce Eric Kaplan's New Yorker cartoons were often some of my favorites, so I expected to find the book clever and witty, but I was surprised to find several quite sweet and touching details as well.

This is a very quick read - but in not many words or images, Kaplan manages to convey a lot of feeling. Some of it, like Edmund and Rosemary's disdain for cell phones, movies, Pop art and all the rest, is frequent complaint fodder and although you've heard it before, the frustrating realization moment rings hilariously true.

My expectations of wit and humor were definietly met - I loved what the government does when someone figures out they are in Hell. And Kaplan really got to me at the conclusion, when with very few words and very few images, he constructed a feeling in a moment that is sweetly reassuring about life - even a life lived in Hell.

Dry Humor submitted by Pooh3238 on June 18, 2019, 9:44pm Great book. It's a fast read. Makes you laugh and think. There are many "dry" jokes in it as the book takes you through a story of Edmund and Rosemary. I checked this out after wanting to read more of Eric Kaplan's books. Do yourself a favor and also read "Someone Farted."
