What began as Bull Tales in the Yale Daily News in 1968 became Doonesbury when it debuted as a Universal Press Syndicate feature in 1970. The strip followed the lives of college roommates B.D. and Mike Doonesbury from their first encounter through the intricate life turns they experience, along with the cadre of eccentric and engaging characters they encounter over the next forty years. Always political, relentlessly pointed, expertly drawn and written, Doonesbury is a classic in its own time, and this book commemorates that special place in cartoon history it holds.

New York , Knopf, 1st, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. Fans of Poems of A. Nonny Mouse will rejoice in this effervescent sequel containing more than 50 wittily illustrated short verses. In an introductory letter, Ms. Mouse acknowledges that since the successful publication of her first volume, she's "been able to afford the occasional wedge of imported cheese" and "put away something for her old age." Along with traditional offerings, tongue twisters, limericks and four unlabeled poems by Prelutsky--identified as the editor of Ms. Mouse's scribblings--the book includes the familiar poem about infamous "Ooey Gooey," the worm who ends up squashed on a railroad track, and a subversive rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that concludes with "Throw your teacher overboard / And listen to her scream." Priceman's watercolors, like those she executed in Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud , are frolicsome and frisky, mischievously expressive.

Hardcover. Boston, Little Brown , 1st, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. 306 pages, b&w photos. Best known for his sweet-natured character Latka on Taxi, Andy Kaufman was the most influential comic of the generation that produced David Letterman, John Belushi, and Robin Williams. A regular on the early days of Saturday Night Live (where he regularly disrupted planned skits), Kaufman quickly became known for his idiosyncratic roles and for performances that crossed the boundaries of comedy, challenging expectations and shocking audiences. Kaufmans death from lung cancer at age 35 (hed never smoked) stunned his fans and the comic community that had come to look to him as its lightning rod and standard bearer. Bob Zmuda, Kaufmans closest friend, producer, writer, and straight man, breaks his twenty-year silence about Kaufman and unmasks the man he knew better than anyone. He chronicles Kaufmans meteoric rise, the development of his extraordinary personas, the private man behind the driven actor and comedian, and answers the question most often asked: Did Andy Kaufman fake his own death?

It looked like folk art, like old-time tattoos, like some high school hotrodder's notebook drawings. They were rough, crazy, coarse, deeply American."
