Teaches the principles and concepts of philosophy through one-liner jokes, vaudeville humor, cartoons, and limericks, in an irreverent introduction to the great philosophers and philosophical traditions, from Existentialism to Logic.

Cute... fun, even funny... but kind of unsatisfying. I can see how hard it would be to balance the jokes with the actual thoughtfulness, but I feel that the latter got short shrift. There were holes, mistakes, omissions that made me question the authors' background. Read this for the gags, but don't expect to learn much.
