If You Have to Ask.: Simple Answers to Life's Burning Questions

"Does this dress make me look fat?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Would you like a million dollars?"

What do you think? If You Have to Ask... takes life’s most ubiquitous—and annoying—questions and reveals that the answer is always “Yes” or always “No.”

Refreshingly simple illustrations and tongue-in-cheek text combine to provide an amusing perspective on dealing with common situations and the obvious questions we encounter everyday. Each spread features a universal question, a graphic “Yes” or “No” check box with a pithy (and often sardonic) punch line, plus wonderfully quirky and original illustrations.

Mark Gonyea is the author and illustrator of two well-received books on the principles of graphic design for children, and of the web comic Mr. Oblivious, which was chosen as one of the best comics of 2007 by The Comics Journal. He lives in Hinesburg, Vermont.
