About The Book
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Showcasing hundreds of Toro's greatest hits from his fifteen-year career at the New Yorker, as well as previously unpublished cartoons that we shouldn't shy from calling "undiscovered masterpieces," this book is sure to delight readers—if not outright corrupt them.

Raves and Reviews
"I only wish household magnets were stronger so I could put this whole book on my fridge." (Hannah Gadsby)
"Tom Toro’s cartoons are so funny and expressive. His intermittent use of colors in black and white images is such a brilliant idea. The jokes somehow play out in my head like little movies. Really great work." (Fred Armisen)
"Tom Toro is a master of the art of the single panel cartoon. If you enjoy laughing out loud while you’re in the company of strangers or by yourself, you will love this book." (Roz Chast)
"I absolutely loved this collection by Tom Toro, one of my favorite cartoonists on the planet. Toro’s punchlines are more than merely witty, they are brutally honest, emotionally cathartic, and legitimately laugh-out-loud hilarious. This book is the perfect gift for that special someone in your life who appreciates high-quality New Yorker-style cartoons." (Simon Rich)
“The moment we live in is dark, absurd and hopeless. An inescapable nightmare which will grind each and every one of us beneath its pitiless hell-wheels. Will these brilliant, hilarious cartoons help? No. They absolutely will not. Not at all. No.”
(Patton Oswalt)
"I highly recommend this book to any book club whose members are intimidated by large blocks of contiguous text. Also, to book clubs whose members like to laugh uproariously. All other groups, please consult Oprah." (Emma Allen, Cartoon Editor, The New Yorker)
