High Stepping Through the Neighborhood

I realize that not everyone appreciates Jerry's absolutely unique brand of humor (I have examples plastered all over the wall of my office and I enjoy seeing how people react to them), but anyone with intelligence and a fine sense of the nuances and absurdities of our everyday speech will appreciate the humor found in his cartoons. Here are some examples from this collection: (1) We see a door to a building on which it is written "Brethren of the Fowl Social order". In front we see feathers covering the ground and parts of a man-sized chicken suit lying around. The caption is: "Upon leaving the club in full regalia, it was Bob's misfortune to encounter a very large bird dog" (warning-Jerry has a thing for chickens-they are really absurd creatures!) (2) We see a woman sitting in her car wearing a party hat, throwing confetti and blowing on a party favor. The caption reads: "At this very moment Claudia's odometer matches up perfectly with her zip code" (this is one of my very favorites!) (3) We see a big, tough guy punching a little, wimpy fellow in the eye. The caption reads: "Carl is a person who has trouble with the democratic process". (4) We see a fellow with a silly grin on his face who has dug a long row holes in the ground. The caption reads: "Jason is strong on "how" but weak on "why". (5) We see a man with an extremely frustrated look sitting at the wheel of his car. The caption reads: "The bumper sticker ahead reads "Retired Sock Collectors for Tranquility", and hard-driving Neal Sage knows he's picked the wrong lane again". There are dozens more like this waiting for you in this collection, so once you recover from your side-splitting laughter, go out and get it!

Van Amerongen cartoons are sarcastic, original and amuzing, all adds to a refreshing point of view on life in this modern world. Sometimes the jokes are hard to get on first browse, but it's certainly worth a second glance.
