Wonderfully odd and dark

[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of the same from Gary Larson's much weirder contemporary. The highlights include "Turkish Vibrating Soup"; a particularly dark joke about mobiles as art; and three charming and instructive entries about Jesus, the final one captioned "Jesus changes water into urine." Hard to imagine the New Yorker running any of them, even in the days when Tina Brown was editor, which is a plus as far as I'm concerned.

A mixed bag of sometimes droll, sometimes bizarre, cartoons.
