REVIEW
I bought this book sight unseen on a whim because I had free shipping on a "Prime" trial, and I always thought Martin was funny. Turned out, the purchase was prescient since it was a collection of "whim"-sical cartoons which might make a good coffee table book for Steve's many fans. Be forewarned that it seems a bit overpriced for the time I spent perusing the book. But as a great philosopher once observed, "It's not the money, it's the stuff!"
