I Don't Get It is a short collection of cartoons by Shannon Wheeler, whose work as appeared in the
The New Yorker and
The Onion. He is also the creator of
Too Much Coffee Man as well as the
Too Much Coffee Man Opera.
The book is divided into sections named after the five stages of grief; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. The cartoons are clever, offbeat, and often surreal. They remind me a little of Gary Larson's
The Far Side.
It contains an introduction by "gentleman cartoonist" Keith Knight (of
The Knight Life), who describes Wheeler as the Han Solo to his Lando Calrissian.
This book is a fun, quick read, ideal for a train ride, a work break or a can't-get-out-of-bed morning. If you enjoy it, you might also like
The Ultimate Droodles Compendium ,
We Are Here Forever , or
