Table of ContentsReviews"""Funny Stuff is a delightful, engaging, and illuminating book about the nichiest of niche professions: magazine cartooning. What is a cartoon, and who are these oddballs who think them up as a JOB?!? Desert islands, grim reapers, talking dogs, cave people, regular people sitting on sofas, and the terrifying, hilarious connection between anxiety and humor ... It's all here."" --Roz Chast, New Yorker cartoonist and best-selling author ""If you only buy Funny Stuff for the 100 great cartoons, you'd be getting your money's worth. But the real bang for the yuck comes from what cartoonist Phil Witte and cartoon aficionado Rex Hesner have to say about them. They're evangelists of the single-panel gag cartoon, without which The New Yorker wouldn't be The New Yorker. And once they guide you, genre by genre, comic trope by comic trope, through their one-of-a-kind cartoon appreciation course, you will be too."" --Bob Mankoff, former cartoon editor of The New Yorker" Author InformationPhil Witte is a cartoonist and author.
