Whack Your Porcupine, and Other Drawings

Whack Your Porcupine collects single-panel drawings by the cartoonist B. Kliban, whose absurd and often surreal images made him a well-known figure in American humor. Most pages present one small drawing with a short caption or none at all. The cast includes odd animals, strange objects and unlikely situations, and a cat appears so often that it became a signature of his work. Readers move quickly from one drawing to the next, and the collection rewards dipping in and out. It is a good example of the deadpan, offbeat style that shaped many later cartoonists, and works as both a quick laugh and a small gallery of the artist's imagination.
