In "Home A-Groan 2: Loot in New York," Dave Berg delivers another sharp, satirical slice of absurdity, blending office chaos, corporate whimsy, and the occasional panic over a misplaced phone call. With his signature deadpan wit and visual flair, Berg explores the ridiculousness of modern life—from gym class to boardrooms—through a series of tightly wound, laugh-out-loud scenarios. The cover by Richard Williams captures the mood perfectly, a visual punchline to match the interior’s zany energy.
