One of the many talented cartoonists that used to be published in the National Lampoon whilst I was reading it was Roz Chast. (Ron Barrett's Politenesman, the works of B.K. Taylor and M.K. Brown, the Trots And Bonnie strip from Shary Flenniken, amongst others, were favourites of mine as well). She has a new book composed of a collection of her strips out entitled Theories of Everything: Selected, Collected and Health-Inspected Cartoons, 1978-2006. She captures and exhibits a feeling, idea or moment in a way which I've always related to. Can't say that I've actually ever seen her work in the New Yorker, which is where most of her stuff is published, but this is certainly one book I'll be looking to buy.
