The world with all its beauty is also filled with cruelty and sadness. Most of this we inflict upon ourselves. Some just seems to happen. We hear daily of gruesome hate crimes and terrorism. Still, this is a wonderful life filled with things like courage and love and self-sacrifice, just look around!
Dr. Gary Frederick, artist and author, using his skill as an artist in the spirit of Piraro and Kliban and his talent as a wry humorist in the spirit of "Mad Magazine," shows us that making the best of things is sometimes all we can do!
Twisted Toons demonstrates that there is humor in everything, even the most sacred or saddest of things. Humor makes the bad things somehow less frightening and more comfortable. Perhaps that is the real purpose of humor, as this book so capably shows.
