Serious Drawings (Hardcover)

~ Marc Johns (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This offbeat collection of whimsical illustrations gently plays with our preconceptions. As we browse this selection of illustrated jests, we enter the artist’s absurd and child-like world. Seemingly simple, these spare images are complex in their implications. Odd juxtapositions make us laugh and then think. As Marc Johns himself remarks “finding the humor in things often means finding the truth.”

From the Inside Flap

Thought-provoking and original humor

5.0 out of 5 stars A great illustrated book of wackiness, June 20, 2009

By	Sam Lowry (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews

Though this is not a collection of comics in the tradition of Far Side or Bizarro, there is a lot of humor in this book. Great illustrations and hand inked sayings, with a wonderful style. I don't buy many illustrated books, but I'm glad I took a gamble on this one. Not really for kids (nothing really offensive in it though), but I think most fans of either above mentioned comics will like this book.
