Well, This Is Me: A Cartoon Collection from the New Yorker’s Asher Perlman

A laugh-out-loud collection of 150+ cartoons from New Yorker cartoonist Asher Perlman, finding absurdity in work, relationships, everyday life, and the strange experience of being human.

Well, This Is Me is the debut cartoon collection from Asher Perlman, regular contributor to The New Yorker and writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, whom NPR’s Scott Simon calls “one of today’s great New Yorker cartoonists.”

A blend of Asher’s classics and never-before-seen material, this collection gives the people what they want: universal health care.

Conveniently broken up into thematic chapters, Well, This Is Me: A Cartoon Collection from The New Yorker’s Asher Perlman explores traditional comedy playgrounds, like travel and work, as well as more lighthearted subjects, like death and dying.
