If You Have to Ask...: Simple Answers to Life's Burning Questions

by Mark Gonyea (Illustrator)

"Does this dress make me look fat?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Would you like a million dollars?"

What do you think? If You Have to Ask... takes life’s most ubiquitous—and annoying—questions and reveals that the answer is always “Yes” or always “No.” Refreshingly simple illustrations and tongue-in-cheek text combine to provide an amusing perspective on dealing with common situations and the obvious questions we encounter everyday. Each spread features a universal question, a graphic “Yes” or “No” check box with a pithy (and often sardonic) punch line, plus wonderfully quirky and original illustrations.

About the author

Born in northern New York seven years before I saw Star Wars for the first time. While spending the better portion of my early life watching tv, going to movies and playing video games, little did I realize this was to be the essential ground work for a career in cartooning, graphic design and kids books.
