Deep research and loopy cartooning serve up philosophical musings while maintaining a classic comic-strip devotion to \"the gag.\" Huizenga remains one of the funniest and smartest cartoonists working today, and now, the very book that heralded his arrival as a talent to watch is available once more in deluxe paperback as the early work of a now true genius. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe short stories collected herewith confront the textures of mortality in unique and peculiar ways.
