Book excerpt: Trade Paperback, 152 pages Praise from Paul Tumey (columnist for The Comics Journal and author of SCREWBALL! The Cartoonists Who Made the Funnies Funny): "The funniest cartoon book I've read all year." ". . . a thick compendium of images that are best described as cartoons -- many made me laugh, some inspired flights of philosophical reflection. The skeleton and the bedframe made me think about the human body as a kind of bed for the soul. The downpour of keys onto the locked woman resonates with current news, yet uses antique art -- brilliance." "For every dreamlike "made ya think" cartoon, there's three that are just plain goofy funny stuff, Grecian athlete statues with cleverly placed rolls of toilet paper, and the like that elicit a grade school snicker of wicked delight." "It's not well understood, but surrealism is supposed to be funny -- and Gill is working squarely within the highest aspirations of surrealism, dadaism, and -- dare I say -- screwballism with this book." "Max Ernst has found a new brother." "Great stuff!" ------ from Frank Young, Eisner Award winning graphic novelist (The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song by Young and Lasky): "The book is a thing of beauty! I've been enjoying it--absorbing the inscrutable collages, sometimes laughing out loud. It gives me images to hang onto, tho' I'm often not sure what I'm holding in my hand." ------
