Marital Gift

The book makes a perfect little gift for those just married who WILL evolve into the couples depicted in the New Yorker cartoons. Hopefully the book offers them a sense of humor for the inevitible and thus helps them. In brief...a great marital aid for the nieve.

Many sides to the love polygon, good and bad

There are many sides to the love polygon and many of them are examined in this collection of cartoons. By far, my favorite is on page 86, where an aged man has a young woman on his lap and looking at an aged woman who is giving him a stern look. All are angels and the man is saying, "Buzz off Louise! That was only till death us did part." On page 45, an unhappy couple are in the office of a marriage counselor and the man says, "No heroic measures." This is very funny stuff. I loved them all, love songs fill the airways, but the real world is much more like the messages in these cartoons.

Swooning and sighing over these, this book is a must!

Relationships. Who wouldn't want to try to understand a whole lot more about the opposite sex, either through through dating, marriage, divorce and yes, just plain sexual parody pictures that this funny collection is full of. I think this should be a mandatory gift to any couple tying the knot, they would maybe then try to see and learn what the other one is thinking a whole lot better. Get this book!
