Cartoons featuring bizarre situations with a hint of truth can be either sick; funny or both. The cartoons in this book can be placed in one of these three categories. Life is always a bit bizarre, even when it is at its' most normal and routine. Somehow, each day manages to present a situation that is slightly odd, even though sometimes it is a strain to see it that way. McPherson has the perfect mentality and outlook to develop cartoons like this and he does see it that way. They are often exaggerations of the natural foibles of all aspects of life, from elementary school to retirement. There is the teacher that wants all students to contribute, so she ties ropes to their hands so that she can forcibly raise them. There is the barber who never sweeps up the hair because it insulates the floor. If you enjoy a sideways and bizarre look at life and what it presents, then you will enjoy this book.

This book is the BEST!!!! It's so funny when I first read it, I felt like I was going to COMPLETELY LAUGH MY HEAD OFF!! Some examples of the cartoons that are in this book are- a necklace that is made out of baby teeth, a woman who blows her face off with a hair drier, and a man who juggles at the dinner table with meatballs! So see what I mean? This book is TOTALLY HILLARIOUS!! So buy this book- NOW!
