  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;A collection of short stories from Norway's greatest cartoonist.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;\After seven books that have ranged from tragedy (&lt;I.Hey, Wait&amp;#133;&lt;/I&gt;) to drama (&lt;I&gt;Sshhhh!&lt;/I&gt;) to thriller melodrama  (&lt;I&gt;The Iron Wagon, Why Are You Doing This?&lt;/I&gt;), Jason unleashes his inner Scandinavian goofball with this big collection of hilarious shorter pieces. God, the Devil, mummies, vampires, zombies, werewolves, reanimated skeletons, space invaders, Death, cavemen, Godzilla and Elvis populate these most often wordless blackout gags, side by side with Jason's usual Little-Orphan-Annie-eyed, rabbit-and-bird-head protagonists-a &quot;lighter side&quot; of one of the best cartoonists of the new millennium.</default_description>

Yes, yes, modern-day caveman uses a cell phone but still knocks out women with a club and drags them home.

This is a collection of short strips that are only connected by the fact that they feature Jason's odd brand of animal characters as old-school monsters--a mummy, a vampire, Frankens...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2814843">more...</a>]]></body>
