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 indeed.
“Includes introduction by Christopher Guest.”
