Book description
The perfect gift for every single person on the planet. Well, This Is Me is the debut cartoon collection from Asher Perlman (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), who NPR's Scott Simon calls "one of today's great New Yorker cartoonists." A blend of Asher's classics and never-before-seen material, this collection gives the people what they want: universal health care. Okay, not that, but something almost as important: a delightful book, chock-full of over 150 cartoons about everything from a dog's encounter with a genie to the Tin Man's trip to Jiffy Lube. Conveniently broken up into thematic chapters, Well, This Is Me: A Cartoon Collection from The New Yorker's Asher Perlman explores traditional comedy playgrounds, like travel and work, as well as more lighthearted subjects, like death and dying. Point is: this book has a little something for everyone. Even you, Kristen.
