These are just a few of the many perplexing questions asked, and sometimes answered, in . . . Will and Abe's Guide to the Universe
This is the very latest in the ever-expanding series of mini-jumbo cartoon compendia by that rabbit-drawing rabble-rouser Matt Groening, author of Love Is Hell<sup><small>™, Childhood Is Hell<sup><small>™, and many, many more hell-bound books.

All the words in these comic strips are taken from Matt's feisty and funny sons Will and Abe: their actual conversations, stories, songs, arguments, theories, explanations, excuses, snappy retorts, and flights of fancy.
If you have kids, know kids, have been a kid, or remain a kid at heart, you know that kids say the most hellish things!<small>*
<small><small>*Any similarity between "hellish" and "darndest," implied or otherwise, is impossible, because darndest isn't really a word, is it?
</small> Contains the following wildness:
<ul> <li>Will and Abe Discuss Leprechauns <li>Important Questions About Cartooning <li>Abe and Will's Guide to Parents <li>Now That You're Six
And much, much more!
