5.0 out of 5 stars Feeling Bad, Depressed, Lonely, Buy this Book
BEK Does It Again. You don't have to wait every week to read his cartoons - It's all here in a fantastic new collection of cartoons. I don't know how he does it. You can keep reading and reading them over and over and laugh each time. When your favorite American Idol contestant gets voted off - pick up this book and it will all be okay.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Collection
BEK's cartoons have a distinctive yet austere style. He seems to have put more emphasis on the writing than on the drawing. As Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, of which BEK is a frequent contributor, once wrote: "It's not the ink, it's the think that makes a great cartoon." All in all, I thought it was an interesting collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious...., April 11, 2004
This review is from: This Is A Bad Time: A Collection of Cartoons (Hardcover)
You can flip to any page and you will get a laugh or a smile from the cleverness of Bruce Eric Kaplan. Some random quotes from the book:
"My name is Brett and I'll be the person you focus all your misplaced anger on for the evening."
--
"You can't keep comparing yourself to those skinny little aliens you see in movies."
--
"Don't walk away from me while I'm not paying any attention to you."

This review is from: This Is A Bad Time: A Collection of Cartoons (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful collection of the popular cartoons from The New Yorker. I have this book in my guest room and it always illicits such enthusiastic responses from my guests. If you're like me and always search for the BEK cartoons first thing when The New Yorker arrives, you will really appreciate this collection.
