What Would Satan Do?
Cartoons about right, wrong, and very, very wrong

by Pat Byrnes '81 (Harry N. Abrams, Inc.)

An Entertainment Weekly "Must List" choice, this devilish collection of cartoons pokes fun at the morals, ethics and rationalizations of contemporary society. "It doesn't count if it's in a salad," the snake tells Eve as she holds a bowl of lettuce and apple slices. "What's our policy on honesty?" an executive on speaker phone asks.

A moral compass that always points south, the author notes, "can help you find your way as surely as one that points the other way." And can help you laugh, too.
