5.0 out of 5 stars Booth will always make you smile,, June 16, 2009

This review is from: Think Good Thoughts About a Pussycat (Paperback)

if not laugh out loud! I own five of Booth's collections of excellent cartoons (He appeared in The New Yorker for years, and after an absence I saw one of his delightful cartoons in a recent issue) and I can highly recommend them all!

His sense of humor is first rate; his comic take on the everyday, plus the subtle and not-so-subtle sight gags rank Booth as one of the top cartoonists of all time.

Right up there with Calvin and Hobbes as a must have!

This review is from: Think Good Thoughts About a Pussycat (Paperback)

I took this book with me so that I could endure my 50th H.S. reunion. I read it all afternoon in the motel until I was rolling on the floor. That evening I was able to look at the variety of clowns I went to high school with and chuckle to myself. These are funny cartoons and will remain funny forever, although I think you might have to be "of a certain age" to enjoy them...no facebook or twitter here!

4.0 out of 5 stars People depicted as grouchy and cantankerous, which is a way to cope, January 21, 2008

This review is from: Think good thoughts about a pussycat (Hardcover)

This collection of cartoons follows no political, social or economic agenda. They are just funny, presenting people in situations where they are grouchy, cantankerous and sometimes just trying to cope in unusual ways. The faces of the people are drawn in exaggerated caricature; there are large noses and generally wild hair. Underneath it all, there is the reality of how we often feel about the world. Just let me live my life, have what little pleasure I can get and stay out of my way. I enjoyed these cartoons, although dark, they have a refreshing approach to how you handle life.
