Description

Popular Chinese Jokes offers glimpses of life in ancient China in a lighter vein. Through more than 40 well-known jokes told in cartoons, the author/illustrator takes a gentle swipe at some bad habits and practices of the Chinese in olden days. Ancient as they are, these jokes never fail to strike a cord in the hearts of present-day readers. Chinese cartoonist Tian Hengyu is renown for his expressive illustrations with crisp, clear-cut lines. His depiction of nonentities with their antics in these jokes is particularly side-splitting. It is sheer enjoyment for readers who can readily relate to the many seemingly familiar characters and situations they come across. The book entertains with more than 200 different cartoon characters, all created with unique features to bring to life their hilarious roles in the stories. You're sure to be tickled pink as you go through the pages.
