What critics have said (once they stopped laughing) about Sidney Harris's previous collections:

"What's so funny about science? Sidney Harris, that's what!"--Isaac Asimov

"Each of us has his or her short shelf of indispensable references. . . . My shelf . . . includes a set of Sidney Harris books, which are used for medicinal purposes only. . . . It could be argued that the price of this book is a business-related expense."--Pat Morgan, CBE Views

"Harris is programmed with a powerful algorithm for finding incongruous associations."--Dennis Flanagan, American Scientist

"The humor in science that is most widely laughed at comes from non-scientists, like the cartoonist Sidney Harris."--Roger B. Swain, New York Times Book Review

Sidney Harris's other books of cartoons include Einstein Simplified: Cartoons on Science, Can't You Guys Read? Cartoons on Academia, andSo Sue Me: Cartoons on the Law (all available from Rutgers University Press). A traveling show of his cartoons has appeared in numerous museums in the United States and Canada since 1985.
