Squared Away! Volume 5: The Ultimate Cartoon Collection

Squared Away! - Volume 5Five books in, you'd think someone might have learned something.Apparently not.Squared Away! - Volume 5 is another collection of single-panel cartoons by Norwegian cartoonist Nils Ofstad, featuring absurd situations, bad timing, questionable decisions and the occasional reminder that common sense is not always evenly distributed.The humor moves between silly, dry, surreal and dark, with an unfortunate tendency to cross the line just far enough to make you wonder whether it should have. Sometimes the joke is obvious. Sometimes it sneaks up on you. And sometimes it leaves you wondering what sort of mind came up with it.Each cartoon stands on its own. No storyline. No recurring cast. No homework.Just turn to any page and see what went wrong this time.After five volumes, the process remains remarkably simple: Draw a cartoon.Hope it's funny.Publish it anyway.Apparently, that's a business model.
