The New Yorker Magazine Book of Mom Cartoons

Mother Knows Best...

Finish your homework. Eat your carrots. If you're not careful, your face will freeze like that! The wisdom of mothers is varied and vast, but too often, moms just don't get enough credit. The New Yorker Book of Mom Cartoons celebrates mothers — the good, the bad, and the overbearing — with a remarkable collection of cartoons from the nationally acclaimed magazine (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.99).

Ranging from sweet to sarcastic, The New Yorker Book of Mom Cartoons offers nuggets of wisdom and humor that appeal to all, featuring, for example:

• The answer to the age-old question, "Who is your favorite?" Barbara Smaller's cartoon answers with the foolproof, "I dislike you both the same!"
• An unforgettable portrayal by Edward Frascino of two flower-hatted, tea-drinking crocodiles who regret eating their young (at least, they regret it a little bit on Mother's Day, anyway).
• The delivery of the final salvo in an animated exchange, "My mom is older than the Super Bowl!" by William Hamilton.

In panel after panel, The New Yorker Book of Mom Cartoons delivers an entertaining perspective on the myriad of issues that mothers deal with day after day, making it the perfect gift for Mother's Day. Of course, considering the amount of trouble you may have caused her over the years, perhaps it would be best not to wait that long. Let your mother know today how much you appreciate her — and her sense of humor — with The New Yorker Book of Mom Cartoons.
