I AM BLIND AND MY DOG IS DEAD: Classic Cartoons by S. Gross Reviewed on Bookslut

Sam Gross's classic collections of cartoons, I Am Blind and My Dog is Dead, is reviewed by Josh Cook on Bookslut: "Drawing subject matter from common myths, fairy tales, and the foibles of existence, nearly all the cartoons are worth a chuckle or a snort . . . the book is an excellent filler gift for any occasion certain to bring some laughter and joy to whoever receives it. This collection won't challenge for define the art of single panel comics, but it would be a welcome addition to any bathroom's or coffee table's idle time reading library."
