No bread? How could he possibly have toast! Hysterical. It's amazing how much our collective sense of humor has changed, it'll be great when Lewis Black and Achewood are as trite and lame as these seem today.

Other collaborations of a Beckett and Leech include A Comic History of England, a Comic Blackstone, and, believe it or not, A Comic Latin Grammar.
(Grammar and Blackstone have few pictures.)

Actually, the whole of 'A Comic History of England' is available at Posner too. I didn't put it in the post at BibliOdyssey (not BiblioOdyssey) because I kind of have the intention of ransacking the book and posting it in the future.
