Leigh began his cartooning career in 1978 by establishing his own greeting card company, Rubes Publications. His first cartoon collection, the popular Notable Quotes musical cartoons, was published in 1981.
Rubes®, Leigh's syndicated cartoon, began in 1984, and the first paperback collection of Rubes® was published in late 1988. His most recent series of books include the award-winning "Wild Life of Love" and "The Wild Life of Cats." Several of his other books include "The Wild Life of Dogs," Pets, Cows, Farm Animals and "Rubes® Then and Now."

Leigh Rubin is as funny as Gary Larson ever was,

This review is from: The Wild Life of Love: A Rubes Cartoon Collection (Paperback)
Rubes by Leigh Rubin is my favorite daily cartoon. So when I found his cartoons in book collections, I bought all of them. Then his daily calendars, then his other items that always seem to make me laugh at the exact moment I need to. I was a big fan of The Far Side by Gary Larson and when he ended his strip, I felt such a hole in my daily cartoon life. Then I found Leigh Rubin's Rubes and life has been happily back to "normal" ever since.

Leigh Rubin nails it on a daily basis... I love to laugh, and at the same time think about some of the nonsensical things that pop up in our daily lives... Leigh Rubin tackles it better in Rubes than anyone else has ever dared attempt! This is a great collection!
