Death by Laughter

By Harry Bliss

Welcome to the world of Harry Bliss--a New York Times bestselling cartoonist whose gag cartoons look at the world in a fresh, twisted, and unique way. Each panel is a sharp and smart look at the paradoxes of life, ranging from lust and love to misfortune and bitterness. Bliss's cartoons expose truths so human, so real, they're timeless. However, time is running out in Death by Laughter --a collection of cartoons about death, fatality, and "the examined life" that Socrates referred to (only his gags weren't illustrated or, frankly, all that funny). Sheer Bliss.

Customer Reviews

this is great

Aside from the fact that I love all Harry Bliss cartoons, this is a great collection! I call it a collection of cartoons about death and psychotherapy and sometimes both. Great gift idea!

Genius!

Bliss has his finger (and pen) on the pulse of sardonic wit. I have seen the future of gag cartoons and it's Harry Bliss.
