Lots of witty wordplay, skewering drawings, and a healthy dose of illustrative competition. For twenty years, veteran cartoonists Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin have been exploring in their work the ins and outs of marriage. From whimsical and wacky to risqué and barbed, their humor allows us to laugh at our follies and foibles and the insanity that is inherent in the day-to-day workings of every marriage. From meeting, wooing, and dating to marrying, divorcing, and remarrying, from having sex to having kids, the course of true love never runs smooth–but it’s excellent fodder for talented humorists.<br><br>Here, Donnelly and Maslin offer a his-and-hers view of marriage, a cartoon conversation about all that love entails. From the wedding day (“And do you, Louise, take Jack to be your husband until really, really pissed-off do you part?”) to cohabitation (“And this is where I go to escape from where I go to escape”) to parenting (“Dad says it’s all right with him if I watch TV as long as it’s not all right with you”), husband and wife give us hilarious insights into the way relationships work. Cartoon Marriage shares clever takes on male/female communication (“You could at least acknowledge the fact that I’m ignoring you”) and renovation (“I’ve made a few improvements, but the way you see him now is pretty much the way I found Harold eleven years ago”). And of course, what view of marriage would be complete without a trip to the bedroom: “Owen, look, the good-sex fairy.”<br><br>Featuring more than two hundred hilarious cartoons, <i>Cartoon Marriage</i> is a deliciously witty true-to-life look at matrimony, children, happiness, connubial squabbling, and everything in between. 6234657 27 1 2009 Cartoon Marriage: Adventures in Love and Matrimony by The New Yorker's Cartooning Couple total:5|5:2|4:2|3:1| 5 21 14 2 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 11:07:17 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 11:09:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 21:17:58 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 21:18:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 12:05:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 12:05:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 02 10:42:59 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 10:42:59 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 24 11:05:13 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 11:05:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 27 08:28:35 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 08:28:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 19 12:05:02 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 12:05:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 18 18:30:04 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 18:30:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 02 01:31:11 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 01:31:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 01:31:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 27 20:07:57 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 20:07:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 10:29:50 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 10:31:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 15 07:37:10 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 07:37:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 15 06:58:35 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 06:58:35 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 15 03:29:17 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 17:24:23 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 03:29:17 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6058537
