Review


"A hilarious look at conjugal bliss amidst life with the kids, the dishwasher, and other post-nuptial trappings." -- The San Antonio Express-News
"Simon Rich and Farley Katz capture several vignettes in this perfect-as-a-stocking-stuffer gift for your favorite couple." --- The New York Times

"The long married...may find more satisfaction in this not-so-sexy but quite hilarious volume." - More

"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, Elle

Praise for WHAT IN GOD'S NAME:

"Divinely funny."―Elissa Schapell, Vanity Fair
