The King's Highway
An eclectic assortment of single-panel black and white cartoons that document the humor in our day-to-day interactions a la Roz Chast's Can We Talk About Something More Pleasant? and Kate Beaton's Hark, A Vagrant!
Debut book from a cartoonist-cum-PhD in English from CUNY with a focus on the Enlightenment
The humor traverses a scale of tones capturing highbrow philosophical humor, insightful observations of our Earthly behaviors, and the wonderful wordplay (or not) of dad jokes (as well as scatological animal humor!). There is something for everyone precisely becasue it is Dicus's goal to "attempt to see everything from every point of view"Debut collection that deftly, succinctly captures the humor of the everyday
"Dicus. Hilarious. Ingenious. Perspicacious. Ridiculous. Sagacious. Studious. Curious. Fabulous. Envious." - Dave Coverly, creator of Speed Bump
Dicus grew up in Nevada, but he’s lived in Chicago, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and New York, where he currently lives with his wife and two kids. His kids are actually cats. In case that makes you sad, one of the cats' names is Dennis, and Dennis doesn’t know how to meow. Dicus is a professor of books nobody reads, but it took him decades to learn how to spell medieval.
