Yet Another NASTYbook
The NASTYest things come in the smallest packages. With ultra-ultra-short stories, preposterous little poems and dialogues, even one-sentence tales, Barry Yourgrau’s twisted mind cooks up a wealth of wicked fancies—from just a few lines. Imagine a kid swallowing his cell phone (ring ring). Or a girl eating up the furniture (yum yum). This third in the NASTYbook series is the funniest, grossest, most wild and weird yet! Off-the-wall design and black-and-white illustrations add to the cracked Twilight Zone that’s Yougrau’s oh-so NASTYworld.

This second book in the NASTYbook series has all the wickedness and wild antics of the first. And it features ten spreads of original manga comics!
