One of them is a bestselling Pulitzer Prize-winning
humorist. The other is a winner of the Thurber Prize for
American Humor. Together, they form the League of Comic
Justice, battling evildoers in the name of . . . Okay, we
made that line up. What they do form is a writing team of
pure comic genius, and they will have you laughing like
idiots.
Philip Horkman is a happy man-the owner of a pet store
called The Wine Shop, and on Sundays a referee for kids'
soccer. Jeffrey Peckerman is the sole sane person in a world
filled with goddamned jerks and morons, and he's having a
really bad day. The two of them are about to collide in a
swiftly escalating series of events that will send them
running for their lives, pursued by the police, soldiers,
terrorists, subversives, bears, and a man dressed as Chuck
E. Cheese.
Where that all takes them you can't begin to guess, but the
literary journey there is a masterpiece of inspiration and
mayhem. But what else would you expect from the League of
Comic Justice?
