David Sipress, a New Yorker cartoonist, has a new memoir out. (It's called "What's So Funny?")
In art, less is more, and Sipress has a special gift for minimalism. A recurring theme for him is two married people on a couch. One says something terse and apparently bland -- and it's also fully deranged. "Can't we discuss this non-verbally?" "I'm bored. Let's have children."
Sipress also has access to a fantasy world. In this world, Satan might gab about "hell's hottest July on record!" Or a cat might drag a mic out of the closet. "I know I'm meant to provide *physical* comedy, but tonight I thought we could try something different....."
I'm looking forward to the memoir.
