Omnibooth: The Best of George Booth

I've always loved the utter chaos that exists in this artists creations, the one with a man trying to read the paper while his wife annoys him with her outlandish suggestions is one situation, there are many more. But when I recently bought the "Complete New Yorker" on a hard drive, I was driven to buy two of his cartoon books, this being one of them. To my dismay, there was too much duplication between the two books, why this was allowed to happen I cannot fathom, for I won't buy another collection before I have a good look at what's covered in the new desired volume. My advice, buy one, sight unseen, buy the next one after you've looked at it. A great artist, in any event.

George Booth's cartoons, often seen in the New Yorker, are collected wonderfully in this book. He has lots of hilarious things to say about dogs, automechanics, banking and living on the edge. Everyone in my family who read this laughed and laughed.
