Alternate title:
What is so funny? : a cartoonist's memoir
Description:
xiv, 253 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Summary:
"From a longtime New Yorker staff cartoonist, an evocative
family
memoir, a love letter to New York City, and a delightful exploration of the origins of creativity
--
richly interleaved with the author’s witty, beloved cartoons.
David
Sipress
, a dreamer and obsessive drawer living with his Upper West Side
family
in the age of JFK and Sputnik, goes hazy when it comes to the ceaselessly imparted lessons-on-life from his meticulous father and the angsty expectations of his migraine-prone mother.With wry and brilliantly observed prose,
Sipress
paints his hapless place in the
family
, from the time he is tricked by his unreliable older sister into rocketing his pet turtle out his twelfth-floor bedroom window to the moment he walks away from a Harvard PhD program in Russian history to begin his life as a professional cartoonist. Sipress’s cartoons appear in the story with spot-on precision, inducing delightful Aha! moments in answer to the perennial question aimed at cartoonists: Where do you get your ideas?"--Publisher.
