The goofy people and brilliant humor of this single-panel strip have put smiles on the faces of readers. This kooky collection, \u003cem\u003eClose to Home Exposed\u003c\/em\u003e, captures the hilarity of some of its best cartoon panels. As the comic's name suggests, \u003cem\u003eClose to Home\u003c\/em\u003e provides humor that's comfortable and familiar; yet the strip also has a palpable element of danger or nonsense. Topics vary widely, from health care and parenting to car repairs and shopping. But whether it's addressing dating or death--or just as likely, dating and death--\u003cem\u003eClose to Home\u003c\/em\u003e always delivers the off-center laughs its readers have come to expect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Close to Home is always a scream, and I love the goofy people that you draw.
