Hello, I saw your book at a bookstore in New York and I am saving up to buy it soon. When I was browsing through it I saw a cartoon that sriked my attention. It was the one called “Women’s porn” and a man was ironing and vacuuming..I thought it was hillarious and would like to know whose cartoon it is and whether I could find an electornic version of it to put as a wallpaper on my laptop. Could you please inform? Many thanks!
This is a wonderful elegant book-finally a book for women-I feel catered to for the first time in a long time.
Thanks, bring on more. I would love to hear from these gals every week.
