And to Think We Started as a Book Club . . .
What can Leonardo DiCaprio, Bernie Sanders, Greta Thunberg, and Elon Musk all agree on? That TomΒ Toro's cartoons belong in their social media feeds. Now, with this debut collection by one ofΒ TheΒ New Yorker'sΒ contemporary stars,Β everybody can enjoy the timeless witticism and thigh-slapping wisecracks of Toro's cartoons without needing to go online.
In Tom Toro's hilarious world, the Grim Reaper binges television while Superman shops for health insurance. The collection features original chapter art that sets the perfect tone for these brilliant cartoons and what they reveal about the absurdity of modern life, all drawn in the author's wry and winsome style.
Showcasing hundreds of Toro's greatest hits from his fifteen-year career at the New Yorker, as well as previously unpublished cartoons that we shouldn't shy from calling "undiscovered masterpieces," this book is sure to delight readersβif not outright corrupt them.
