The Party after You Left by Roz Chast
3.0
Some were funny, some weren't. That's cartoon humor for you. My favorites:
Trial Balloons in Apartment 3-B (Mom: "Lentils - a tasty, inexpensive alternative to meat.")
Hoax Ethnic Food food cart ("New York's Only Kwzntueaaian Cuisine")
Schadenfruede Monthly magazine cover ("Obnoxious Heiress's Cosmetic Surgery Goes Horribly Wrong! Scads of gruesome pictures, pages 11-15")
The NRA's Written Test for a Gun License ("I'm all for gun safety, but _____________________________ (use reverse side if necessary)" )
The Big Book of Parent-Child Fights (Chapter 1, Food Arguments - page 1. Chapter 2, Bedtime Feuds - page 832.)
Sudden Genius catalog ("#3188: Russian Headbox. Russian mystics have long known that putting one's head in a box concentrates the cranial aura. Easy to use, safe, 100% effective. $124.99")
The Daily Bugle newspaper (Headlines: "$165 Billion!!! Huge Amount of Money! No Doubt About It!" "$80 Billion. Not As Impressive As It Once Was." "$5 Billion. *Yawn*" "$400 Million. So What?" "$100 Million. Nobody Cares.")
Woodwork Clothes catalog. ("#638: Nothing-Special Skirt. How many times have you wanted to just disappear completely? Order your skirt in Ignore, Vague, and Goodbye.")
