"The highlight of my week, every week, is flipping through The New Yorker for the new Chast cartoon. I normally try to withhold and read it cover-to-cover, except for my cartoon fix."
"I encountered cartoons by Roz Chast back in the 1980's in Seventeen magazine. They made fun of things while capturing teen anguish to a T. For example, I remember the two teenage protagonists needing jobs and aspiring to something glamorous, but ending up at a mall-food-court hot dog stand, wearing ridiculously unattractive uniforms. Years later, I have caught up with Roz Chast again, via this collection of her cartoons for the New Yorker magazine. I spent a great deal of time laughing.
Roz Chast points out our human foibles, insecurities, inconsistencies, and absurdities. A recurring theme is motherhood, often focusing on how hard we can be on our own mothers and moms in general. These titles will show the gamut: Bad Moms Magazine: Special Holiday Issue; Healing Truth Mother's Day Cards; The Big Book of Parent-Child Fights; The Cab of Guilt; Bad Mom Cards: Collect the Entire Set!; and The Adventures of Wimp Mom.
Another great theme is boring clothes, as seen in Woodwork Clothes for People Who Want to Blend Right In, Frederick's of Winnipeg; Cozy Cardigan; and Safari Clothes "for people who aren't going anywhere".
Chast does a great job of pointing out little things I think about but wouldn't discuss because they're too silly, such as Safety Tips from the American Council to Avoid Static Shocks; Schematic Map of Miss Mathilda's Afternoon Assortment of Bonbons.
And last but not least, many cartoons made me feel that Chast has officially validated my laziness: Archaeology of a Kitchen Sink; Bad Housekeeping: The Magazine for Women Who Couldn't Care Less; and Recipes from the "I Really, Really Hate to Cook" Cookbook."
"Sort of depends whether you like Roz Chast, but some of this stuff is absolutely hilarious, and several of the cartoons have already become catchphrases in my house, the kind of humor shorthand that seems to just get funnier because of how true-to-life it is (e.g. "face goes all crazy!"). Recommended"
