More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Since drawing her first Sylvia strip in 1979, the nationally syndicated cartoonist Nicole Hollander has channelled her acerbic wit and razor-sharp sensibilities through the incomparable and irascible Sylvia, a Chicago original whose hilarious commentary on everyday life has won over millions of loyal readers. Self-appointed pundit (on issues that range from health care reform to caffeinated beverages), cat-lover and ardent feminist, Sylvia has provided readers with a much-needed weekly dose of political and personal sanity.

Prescient or . . .
30 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book gives, in the best feminist tradition, a hilarious history of both the personal and political. Of course Sylvia hits it on the nose (who could miss that nose?). The strength of these cartoons lies not only in their dry and germane commentary, but also the drawings themselves, especially the ones of Sylvia's immediate environment. Although they don't move around a lot Sylvia and her cohorts, her daughter, her cats, and even her bartender live in the same world I do - one where everything is either funny or painful or very often both. My favorites are the ones where someone (usually Sylvia) is fulminating, and an off-stage voice (usually Rita) wants to palliate her with something delicious and effective like a carrot cake and a Zoloft. It is great to have a huge dose of Sylvia whenever I want it.
Very funny book
18 April 2012
Format:Paperback
This is a very funny comic collection. I'm a big fan of Sylvia but I her comic strip doesn't run in my local paper so I wanted to see what I've been missing. This didn't disappoint. Nicole Hollander has a very dry wit and is right on with her social take on the world.
Sylvia is a good woman!

I think Nicole Hollander's "Sylvia" is a wonderfully funny character. I've had this book for quite a while and still look at it and laugh. She has some classic lines in this book that we still quote. Sylvia is a quirky woman who can make me laugh time and again.
