Gross Exaggerations: The Meshuga Comic Strips of Milt Gross

Collecting the full run of Milt Gross's wildly inventive newspaper strips from the 1920s through the 1940s, this single-volume hardcover from Sunday Press Books resurrects a master of Yiddish-inflected visual comedy. Known for his elastic line, surreal sight gags, and playful mangling of the English language, Gross created a uniquely American cartooning voice that influenced generations. This definitive archive brings together his most celebrated features—including Nize Baby, Dave's Delicatessen, and Count Screwloose of Tooloose—preserving a vital piece of comic strip history that had long been out of print.
