Business Cartoons

I think Barsotti is one of the funniest cartoonists working today. Especially in today's climate of our frustration with the big money men, Barsotti neatly punctures these colossi of pomposity. Side-splitting hilarity (with not a little poignance). If you aren't already a huge fan from reading The New Yorker magazine you will be after you get this book. Buy it!!!

A hilarious series of comments on the corporate ladder's ironies.

If the name of Charles Barsotti sounds familiar, it's because he does business cartoons for the New Yorker, and has produced such for over three decades. Any New Yorker reader only has to take a glance at the cover to readily recognize his style, and FROM THE BIG DESK OF... represents the first gathering of Barsotti creations under one cover. Dilbert fans will find plenty to applaud here, in a hilarious series of comments on the corporate ladder's ironies. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

Boss' Delight

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my boss, who is a partner in a major New York law firm. He's a terrific person with a great sense of humor -- he loved it.
