The book is divided into two sections: a literary section and an art folio. The literary section brings together over eighty pieces, including both his classic works and newly composed essays that have yet to be published. Written in a witty and humorous style, these pieces offer recollections of old Beijing's customs and everyday life, memories of bygone objects, snapshots of amusing moments from the past, sketches of old friends, and assorted reflections on the art of cartooning. The art folio features more than 120 carefully selected works spanning cartoons, folkloric illustrations, and various other artistic expressions, each accompanied by explanatory text. Whether offering social commentary or radiating gentle humor, these drawings not only represent the pinnacle of Chinese cartoon artistry but also stand as vivid chronicles of their time. 这是中国"讽刺漫画"的开创者、中国漫画奖项"金猴奖"得主、著名漫画家李滨声老先生的一部随笔、漫画自选集。全书分为文字本和画册两部分。文字本收录了他的经典作品和新近创作尚未发表过的随笔作品80余篇，这些随笔风格幽默诙谐，有对老北京风情、世俗、旧物的记叙，有对过往岁月有趣瞬间的回忆，有对老友的素描，也有对漫画创作的杂谈杂感。画册部分则从他诸多画作中精选了漫画、民俗、综艺类作品120余幅，配以文字说明。这些画作或针砭时弊，或诙谐幽默，不仅代表着中国漫画的创作水准，同时也成为时代的生动记录。
