Summary:
He has contributed more than eight hundred cartoons, as well as nine covers, to The New Yorker magazine. An illustrated memoir by the celebrated and admired cartoonist Bruce Eric Kaplan, also known as BEK. The story of his childhood in suburban New Jersey, detailing the small moments we all experience: going to school, playing with friends, family dinners, and watching TV on a hot summer night. It seems a conventional childhood, and Kaplan's anecdotes accompanied by his signature drawings of family outings and life at home-road trips, milk crates, hamsters, ashtrays, a toupee, and a platypus. Kaplan's cartoons, although simple, are never straightforward; they encompass an easy irony and dark humor that often cuts straight to the truth of experience. It is about our attempts to understand the mysteries that are our parents, our families, and ourselves. Kaplan is also a screenwriter and has worked on Seinfeld and on Six Feet Under. In 2012 he became a co-executive producer on the HBO TV series Girls.
