RUB MY TUMMY AND IT'S A DEAL a New Cartoon Book by Mark "Andertoons" Anderson

It's spring time! The snow is off the lawn, the lark is in the meadow, and a brand spanking new book of cartoons is aborne in the new spring day! Fa la!

This newborn paperback, weighing in at a healthy 5.9 ounces, is titled RUB MY TUMMY AND IT'S A DEAL by Mark Anderson.

The 108 page book jammed with his Andertoons trademark humor. There is also a forward by yours truly.

Mark and I are very much like cartoony brothers. We met after we saw each others' work in print and online. After a couple of phone conversations, we found out that we're both:

• from small towns in Iowa,

• self-taught cartoonists,
  
  
• cubicle life escapees,
  
  
• big nerds for comics and sci fi,
  
  
• dashingly handsome lads,
  
  
• and we each have very, very patient wives.

Okay, seriously -- He's one of the most successful cartoonists of the 21st century. His cartoons are everywhere: magazines, Web sites, phones, and, as I write this, Andertoons are probably being beamed across the Neutral Zone into the emerging Romulan market. I'm not kidding!

This is a chance to see his first collection of business cartoons. A worthy addition to your shelf and a worthy way to start off Spring 2008 with a laugh.
