[Elizabeth]

This interesting collection of cartoons makes for a quick, easy read. Some of them are funny, but a some fall flat. A few even feel mean-spirited. On the whole, it’s worth reading, but don’t expect too much.

[Mayda]

Contradictions are the rule, not the exception in this slim volume. Some are really funny, like the baby grand cartoon, while others sort of stretch the point. All the oxymorons are illustrated, and will likely elicit a smile or chuckle as you peruse them.
