Review
"We could go on and on about the stratospherically accomplished, Brooklyn-based funnymen behind a new, illustrated ode to modern love,
The Married Kama Sutra (Little, Brown). It's a too-true-to-life parody of sex after marriage, with witty depictions of the behaviors couples fall into that render the phrase 'long-term romance' oxymoronic." -- Elyse Moody,
EllePraise for WHAT IN GOD'S NAME:
"Divinely funny."--Elissa Schapell, Vanity Fair
