Overview

In the tradition of humor anthologies like those of Steve Martin's Pure Drivel, Woody Allen's Getting Even, and the author's favorite, Jack Douglas' Never Trust a Naked Bus Driver, SK Morton has cobbled together some of his own essays, short stories, and other illegible tripe, to form Grandpa's Cheese. With the book divided into sections featuring unauthorized autobiographical works, fictional non-fiction, and original plagiarized stories, Grandpa's Cheese is guaranteed to provide, a minimum of, two sympathy chuckles. Still not sold? Neither was Harper Collins. But their loss is your breaking even. Grandpa's Cheese has been described as a throwback to midcentury style comedy from writers who knew how to walk the line between satire and farce with clever wordplay and silly takes on otherwise mundane life events. In Grandpa's Cheese, SK deftly bounces between voices likened to Steve Allen to Don Rickles to Dave Letterman to Tina Fey.

"Alonzo Bodden (20 year stand-up comic, season 3 winner of Last Comic Standing, and a regular panel member on NPR's Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me.) ""I know funny and I know words. Grandpa's Cheese has both. Add in the stick figure illustrations and a few pie charts, now SK's bordering on genius. Read this book!"" Greg Fitzsimmons (Nationally known headlining comic. Has written for, and has appeared in, television, film, both terrestrial & satellite radio, and hosts his own podcast, Fitzdog Radio.) ""SK Morton has an IQ of 139. He uses all of those beautiful points to playfully and hilariously lay out his life for you to judge and enjoy."" Bobby Slayton (One of the best known, respected, and energetic comics working for the last 30 years. Credits include Woody Allen's Crisis in Six Scenes and Curb Your Enthusiasm.) ""SK is an extremely funny guy. Not as funny as me but he's a much better writer. I think if we were one person we'd be talking a Pulitzer Prize."" Dave West (SF comic and winner of the 2016 Sonoma Comedy Competition) ""I agree with Bobby Slayton. Any book that gives a shout out to Wayne Cochran, Lee Harvey Oswald AND Wavy Gravy has to be good. Of course Alonzo and Greg make good points too. The real test is what a sober Peter Finch thinks."" Peter Finch (2014 Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame inductee and comedy playwright) ""It was clever. SK is really clever. I had too much fun...and I wasn't even drinking."" Chris Tabish (Headlining comedian and founder of Comediology as well as author of the book of the same name.) ""SK is a comedic genius. If only we had discovered the midichlorians in his blood earlier, he could have hosted the Tonight Show."""
