Dead Lawyers and Other Pleasant Thoughts (Paperback)

~ David Wiley Miller (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dead Lawyers and Other Please Thoughts is the first collection the best from Non Sequitur, the sharp, sly new syndicated comic strip that has addicted fans from coast to coast. Cartoonist Wiley's irreverent, satirical wit, combined with his superbly crafted illustrations, confirm once and for all the sneaking suspicion that the universe is one big joke at humanity's expense. Non Sequitur explores the absurd and the unexpected with outrageously funny sendups of everything from the plight of the homeless to the might of defense attorneys; Dead Lawyers continues that tradition by refusing to conform to the monotonous, row-upon-row layout of most comic strip collections. As Wiley himself says, "Humor knows no bounds, and neither do my cartoons."

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best cartoonist around today., February 25, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Sidney, Ohio) - See all my reviews

Wiley takes up where "Bloom County" left off, both in artistic skill and satire of the world we live in. Scott Adams may have the masses fooled, but for those of discerning taste, Wiley's "Non Sequitur" is far superior. You will enjoy all of his books, and especially his web site. I am positively addicted to it. A new book coming out is a great thrill ( promised this fall-"Beastly things").

5.0 out of 5 stars A cartoonist's cartoonist, February 1, 1998

By A Customer

As a garage cartoonist and collector or humorist art, I put Wiley at the top of my list for wit and drawing style. His work reminds me that of "Booth"
