A generational talent s old cartooning soul returns for a second roundEdward Steed continues his winning streak as the most exciting cartoonist in The New Yorker s pages in the 21st century. Hailed as the last great hope of the single panel gag strip, the sole saving grace of a print media taking its last dying breaths, Steed brings a deftly scrawled lacerating sense of humour that alludes to classic New Yorker cartoonists like Charles Addams, William Steig, and Sol Stenberg as well as modern cringe alt-comedy. With Happy Hour out hot on the heels of his best-selling and critically-lauded debut collection, Forces of Nature, Steed proves he s no flash in the pan but an enduring comedic talent. Every page in this collection is a hilarious master class on how to tickle a funnybone.
