Truly Hilarious & Unusually Profound

Tales of Tongue Fu cleverly and alchemically blends together sidesplitting humor with some unusually profound philosophical insights into the evolution of consciousness and the nature of existence. Like a strange memetic crossbreed between Herman Hesse's Siddhartha, the television show Kung Fu, and Mad magazine on acid, Krassner's zany and profound philosophical insights will have you simultaneously laughing out loud and staring into the Heavens with wonder. I loved this book! This is a new edition of the book that includes a recently written preface by Krassner, twice as many illustrations (by both Trina Robbins and Pete von Sholly), a new introduction by me, and a new glossary, also by me, that allows people born after this book was originally published (in 1974) to enjoy all of Krassner's hilarious cultural references.
