Deep research and loopy cartooning serve up philosophical musings while maintaining a classic comic-strip devotion to \"the gag.\" Huizenga remains one of the funniest and smartest cartoonists working today, and now, the very book that heralded his arrival as a talent to watch is available once more in deluxe paperback as the early work of a now true genius.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The short stories collected herewith confront the textures of mortality in unique and peculiar ways.
