Sight Gags takes a look into the world of vision through the eyes of an artist-turned-optometrist. This collection of 92 cartoons shows that eyeballs are not just the windows to your soul, but are also directly connected to your funny bone (it’s a complicated neurological pathway, but that’s another book entirely). Optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and anybody with eyes will enjoy the off-the-wall humor in this book whether it be at home or in a doctor’s waiting room.
