From the Inside Flap

Introduction

Here's a secret: If you earn a living doing what you love, then it's not a job. It's a great life.

Even when you remove all the benefits: the endless stream of beautiful people, gala parties,

red carpets and awards, it still beats waking up at 6a.m. to make it to any regular job, where

someone else tells you what to do.

Of course there are drawbacks. The endless time it takes to produce the content, conceiving

of all the jokes and images, putting them to paper, editing them, and getting them published,

all so that the average reader can spend a very short time enjoying them before wiping his or

her backside.

The deadlines are also no fun. When you don't have a boss, it can be easy to forget that time

still matters. The orgy of late night partying and celebrated lifestyle of excess has cost me

untold time creating comics under great pressure to get out the laughs before the next

publishing cycle began. If you ever thought The Daily Dose looked like it was rushed out the

door, now you know why.

Then there is the fact that, despite its popularity, most people I meet in person say they never

read comics, and the remainder who do say they never heard of The Daily Dose. It's enough

to deflate even the least egotistical among us.

All the same, I think of the good my work achieves. Spending days and nights perusing the

latest news and entertainment, reading countless other cartoons for inspiration and ideas,

being there when my beloved asks for another cup of coffee, and doing all of that in the name

of research, to better understand the process of creating visual funnies.

Being a cartoonist also allows me to disseminate countless secrets with subversive messages

and double-entendre right in the public eye. Eager to find out all the truths revealed between

the pages and laughs? Tune in. Read on. Laugh Out Loud.

Of course one of the greatest joys of cartooning is saying that I get paid to strip. That's right,

I'm a stripper ... a comic stripper. Another font of pride that stems from stripping in public is

knowing that at this very moment, legions of nerds, wonks and political acolytes clip my work

and put them up on their refrigerators, wall collages and cubicles, all in the name of fun.

And finally, the single biggest bonus from being a cartoonist is, drawing the actual cartoons.

The same feeling that grabs your funny bone and makes you laugh is what makes it so fun to

draw and write, so you had better laugh when you read these, or else all my efforts are in

vain. And remember, laughing makes your trips to the toilet that much easier.

That pretty much sums it up for you. I have to get back to cartooning now. Thanks for reading

and enabling this habit of mine.

About the Author

About the Author

Yasha Harari has been publishing The Daily Dose since 1996, drawing cartoons under the

pen name Laughzilla since its inception.

Be It Knowne, that Mr. Harari only agreed to publish this collection of 101 cartoons after we,

the publisher, agreed to include a second copy of the 101 st cartoon, thus letting you, the

reader, tear out the last cartoon and give it to one of your friends.

Before cartooning, Yasha was an executive at a Washington, DC lobbying organization.

Yasha's interest in cartooning and international affairs came from his years studying, writing

and working in international affairs, politics and media.

When he's not cartooning or online, Yasha spends his time with his lovely wife, Ayala, making

music, and training their pet hamster, Zim, for the hamster olympics.
