Happy Hour

A generational talent’s old cartooning soul returns for a second round Edward Steed continues his winning streak as the most exciting cartoonist in The New Yorker’s pages in the 21st century. Hailed as the last great hope of the single panel gag strip, the sole saving grace of a print media taking its last dying breaths, Steed brings a deftly scrawled lacerating sense of humour that alludes to classic New Yorker cartoonists like Charles Addams, William Steig, and Sol Stenberg as well as modern cringe alt-comedy. With Happy Hour out hot on the heels of his best-selling and critically-lauded debut collection, Forces of Nature, Steed proves he’s no flash in the pan but an enduring comedic talent. Every page in this collection is a hilarious master class on how to tickle a funnybone.
