Art Nut

 David Sipress says that a cartoon should make explicit the thing that is implicit in our heads -- the thing we all think, the thing we can't articulate.

Here is one example. A woman turns to her spouse. She says: "Where do you want to worry that we're spending too much money this summer?"

Not a word wasted, and we know exactly what this person is alluding to. I'm in awe.

Sipress has a new memoir--"What's So Funny?"-- and I loved it from start to finish. I'll be thinking about Sipress and his work for a long while.
