[Machine Translation] What is the biggest difference between humans and other living creatures? It is laughter and imagination. The American comic strips that Shinichi Hoshi has read and collected for many years depict the desires, habits, and quirks of us "evolved apes" in their entirety! This collection of essays, divided into 17 themes such as "Marriage," "Aliens," "Psychoanalysis," "Christmas," etc., fascinates with its black humor and vigorous imagination. A long-awaited reissue of this classic work!
