"I've always looked upon cartooning as comedy's last frontier. I have
done stand-up, sketches, movies, monologues, awards show introductions,
sound bites, blurbs, talk show appearances, and tweets, but the idea of
a one-panel image with or without a caption mystified me. I felt like,
yeah, sometimes I'm funny, but there are these other weird freaks who
are actually funny. You can understand that I was deeply suspicious of
these people who are actually funny."
So writes the multitalented comedian Steve Martin in his introduction to
A Wealth of Pigeons: A Cartoon Collection. In order to venture into
this lauded territory of cartooning, he partnered with the heralded New
Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve shared caption and cartoon ideas,
Harry provided impeccable artwork, and together they created this
collection of humorous cartoons and comic strips, with amusing
commentary about their collaboration throughout. The result: this
gorgeous, funny, singular book, perfect to give as a gift or to buy for
yourself.
