About this title

Synopsis

Mel Calman’s cartoons and acerbic observations on the battle between the sexes—selected here by his daughter Stephanie
 
No-one captured the triumphs and defeats in the war between the sexes so succinctly and hilariously as Mel Calman. His cartoons often focused on the misunderstandings, insecurity, and arguments of relationships. Calman even dedicated one of his collections to “my ex-wives, for their help with the research.” In Incompatibly Yours, his daughter Stephanie Calman selects the best of his observations from the eternal battlefield of love. It is the perfect opportunity to revisit—and laugh along with—one of the great humorists.
