Books, Books, Books

Sidney Harris, a master of the single-panel gag, launched this long-running series of cartoon collections for HarperCollins in 1988. Each volume gathers his wry, insightful observations on the world of academia, science, and intellectual life, all delivered with a light touch and a knowing smile. While technically a series of books, its format—a single, perfect cartoon per page—makes it a unique and beloved fixture in the world of comic art.
