Just North of Sane

Just North of Sane is a full-color collection of single-panel cartoons that explore the thin line between everyday logic and quiet absurdity. With a steady eye for human (and canine) behavior, these cartoons find humor in small moments, sideways observations, and thoughts most people have but rarely admit out loud. Rather than chasing punchlines, the drawings linger just long enough for the joke to sneak up on you. Some are gentle, some slightly twisted, and some land in that familiar territory where common sense takes a wrong turn and keeps walking. Dogs appear often, people less so, and reality is treated as a flexible concept. This book is meant to be dipped into, revisited, and kept within arm’s reach. It’s for readers who enjoy humor that doesn’t shout, cartoons that trust the viewer, and laughs that arrive a second later than expected — which is often where the best ones live.
