Fans of Wheeler and the art of cartooning will enjoy this super-caffeinated collection detailing the origin of his most famous creation and his journey from cartooning for free for college papers to making a bit more money at The Onion , and ultimately making just a little bit more at The New Yorker --the apex job for a cartoonist!
