'I was standing in the park today wondering, why does a Frisbee appear larger the closer it gets? And then it hit me.' Stewart Francis is the king of the smart one-liner, the brilliantly crafted, often punning gag delivered in his trademark deadpan style. In this, his first book, he presents 500 of his funniest, most perfectly formed gags plus hilarious cartoons and more.
