If you've ever "liked" one of Gahan Wilson's cartoons, you'll "love" this book! Nice collection of some of his finest cartoons. Highly recommended.

Wilson has been making me laugh since I was a kid, and letting me know that there's at least one guy out there goofier than me. Still, better to be a little weird than to do whatever you're told by whatever authority figure is trying to jack you, as Gahan ably points out time and again.

This guy is a freak in the best possible way, gleefully mocking our fears and weirdnesses, and boy do we have a ton of 'em. Even better than his strangeness is his intelligent understanding of people and what really makes us tick. Not all of his work is weird; some of it is direct and to the point, and his always amusing artistic style never fails to highlight the joke and the insight. Plus, his stuff just makes me laugh, time and again and again.

A great artist makes you see the world differently after you've encountered his work. Gahan Wilson has been a master at doing just that for almost fifty years now.

Long may he weird!

I gave this book to my Uncle who is a big Gahan Wilson fan. He LOVES it. The book has commentary by the author and the cartons have a similar theme like eating people on two pages. I highly recommend it.
