Well, This Is Me

There is bizarre. Bizarre such as strange, unusual things. Then there is bizarre as in everyday things, people, places and occurrences as depicted in Asher Perlman’s new Andrews McMeel Publishing book: Well, This Is Me, that collects his cartoons from the New Yorker.

I like it. Perlman’s humor echoes my own. We both see the absurd in the most common things, misconceptions, hidden truths, false fronts, observations and real life absurdities.

He’s going bald, I’m going bald. He’s middle aged-well, I was, I'm past that stage.

Anyway, you get the idea.

This small, soft paperback book packs in a lot of chuckles, laughs and guffaws. What makes it so funny is that it’s true-most of of us just don’t want to admit it.

It’s brilliant, absurd, hilarious, strange, witty and more. It’s a compilation of inner wants and murmurings with clever text complemented by a unique art style.

1 John 4:8 - He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
