This time around Jason regales us with a 144-page collection of pithy shorts of all shapes and sizes, ranging from the healthy dose of standard, newspaper-style, three-panel gag-strips that closes out the volume, to the TinTin-esque, 20-page graphic short, "The Mummy's Secret," which immediately precedes them.  The bulk of the book is made of of short -- one to seven pages in length, with most falling in the middle range -- gag pieces that are all variations on a small set of themes.  Some are as minimal as a set-up followed immediately by a denouement, while others play with the formula a little.  The one thing that all the pieces in this book have in common is that they all work and they're all quite humorous... in the dark, depressing sort of way that is Jason's trademark.
