Not that I have anything against a good laugh, but a good cartoon should do more than just make us laugh, it should make us stop and think. That's what John Crowther's cartoons do. - Angie DickinsonUnlike the figure in the opening cartoon, this book requires 'little push...just to get me started.' This is comic commentary of a very high order indeed. From first to final page, the marriage of line and language is a wholly happy one, and anyone who joins John Crowther's flights of fancy will be airborne from the start. - Nicholas Delbanco, author, Robert Frost Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan
