Customer Reviews

Inspired Seinfeld!

I am a Booth FREAK. His hyper-detailed observations of "nothing" and "new yorkers" obviously influenced the sitcom "Seinfeld." Also, anyone who loves animals to an almost "nutty" degree will appreciate the emotional dependence depicted in these little (cracked) windows on life. Another book with humorous cats worth having is Henry Beard's "French For Cats;" Booth would approve!

By George, it's Booth

Lee Lorenz has indeed captured the essential George Booth. Not only has he given Booth's adoring fans a beautiful collection of his work, he introduces us to the sources of his brilliance - his smart, talented, humorous, proudly individualistic parents - and he spices the book with just the right number and types of Boothianic stories to make us yearn for more. This is a rare find.

George Booth is a National Treasure

This collection of Booth cartoons is brilliant and off the wall. There is no end to the "windmills of his mind". I bought two copies to share with my similarly weird friends and may buy more. This man knows cats and a whole lot about the world that I've always wondered about. Keep on truckin' Mrs. Ritterhouse!
