Brevity Remix: A Brevity Treasury

by Guy Endore-Kaiser, Rodd Perry

A terrific comic now becomes a terrific book." -Larry King

Did you know that da Vinci sketched the prototype for the iPod? Or that before settling on cookies, Chinese restaurants experimented with putting fortunes in broccoli? Learn more about life in Brevity .

Authors Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry combine their satirical tendencies with a minimalist illustration style to create Brevity , a single-panel comic that Shakespeare himself declares "the soul of wit." This Brevity treasury features cartoons from the and book collections. No sporks, spheres, penguins, or superheroes were injured in the creation of this treasury.

Brevity dares to ponder such thoughtful perplexities as the difference in fulfillment between hot-air and cold-air balloon rides, the inherent dilemmas involved in eating Chinese alphabet soup, and the pros and cons of playing the violin or the fiddle.

When my now brother-in-law visited my now husband years ago, I was really into a Get Fuzzy book I'd just bought. I think he assumed I like all comic books (which is probably fair, actually), and wound up getting me the first Brevity book. I came across this on at a used bookstore in Mountain View. Are the new comics as funny? Maybe. i didn't enjoy it as much as the first, but perhaps that's because of the little explanations at the bottom. Oh well, I still enjoy this comic.

Pretty funny book. And it has stickers in the back.
