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.
