This Is a Bad Time a Collection of Cartoons

Bruce Eric Kaplan’s This Is a Bad Time a Collection of Cartoons gathers his signature single-panel cartoons from The New Yorker, published by Simon and Schuster in 2004. A single-issue collection, it distills Kaplan’s deadpan, existential humor into a sharp look at modern life’s anxieties and absurdities. For fans of his wry, minimalist style, this volume captures the essence of his long-running contribution to the magazine’s cartoon canon.
