Title: Why Don't You Write My Eulogy Now So I Can Correct It?
Publisher: Celadon Books

Collection of single-panel cartoons, featuring wisdom and fashion sense from the author's mother. Part snarky mother-daughter interactions and part (also snarky) etiquette guide. The author writes for the New Yorker, and the illustrator (also a New Yorker staffer) is working in the magazine's classic cartoon style. I found the cartoons to be a bit hit-or-miss, but there were some funny ones, and the mother's personality shines through in some really unique and unexpected ways.
