Theories of Everything

A collection of cartoons from my personal favorite cartoonist, Roz Chast. What makes her cartoons special is that each one seems to be personal. If you look a little closer into each one, you'll  notice that they're from everyday life. Stuff that you never thought was funny, she somehow transforms without transforming. Like in The Ungoogleable Man where she shows a guy that has, "No Myspace, no Facebook, no NOTHING!  And yet, HE WALKS AMONGST US." You'll see what I mean.

Before you buy this, or you don't, I just want to say that Roz Chast is my hero. I really want to be a Roz Chast type cartoonist when I'm older. Why do I worship her like I do? Well, as I said before, she makes things you never thought was funny and makes them a joke that has you bending over laughing. After you read this, your sense of humor will be slightly different. Not in a bad way. Just, you'll find yourself thinking, I bet Roz Chast could make a cartoon out of this. Trust me when I say she's one of the best cartoonists in the world.

Ages: 11 and up (some humor may be a little... old, if you know what I mean)
