The Post on Joker movie
Joaquin Phoenix is a vivid, operatic Joker, but the movie is way too full of itself [in print as A grisly but often predictable funhouse].

Bob Mankoff - Have I Got a Cartoon for You!: The Moment Magazine Book of Jewish Cartoons
Mankoff, cartoon and humor editor for Esquire, former New Yorker cartoon editor, and author of the memoir How About Never—Is Never Good For You?, introduces this collection of his favorite Jewish cartoons by quipping that the People of the Book are also "the People of the Joke." Exploring how Jewish humorists have drawn on traditions such us Talmudic disputation for material, Mankoff surveys the long tradition of Jewish humor and the cartoon's place in it and reflects on how his own Jewish heritage—which included early experiences of Borscht Belt comedians like Jerry Lewis and Buddy Hackett—shaped his career as a cartoonist.

The Evil Princess and her brother, the Brave Knight, simply do not get along. She casts villainous spells, while he spends his days fighting dragons. He rescues kittens while she stirs up mischief.

They start to realize they aren't so different after all. Comic-style art paired with laugh-out-loud text will delight parents and quarreling siblings alike! Ages 4-8.
