Book On The Horizon…Funny Stuff: Great Cartoons And Cartoonists And How They Work 

Out July of 2024, from authors, Phil Witte and Rex Hesner.   

From the publisher (Prometheus): “Funny Stuff is a tribute to a unique art form: the single-panel gag cartoon. It looks at why so many of us enjoy cartoons, and what makes for a great cartoon. Authors Phil Witte and Rex Hesner consider how cartoonists can present a complex or odd scenario that we immediately grasp, and what enables us to “get” the humor in a flash.”
