Lets Compromise and Say I'm Right: Calman on Love & Relationships Stephanie Calman
This new selection chosen by his daughter, the writer and broadcaster Stephanie Calman, is the first ever collection of the very best of his cartoons about being in love, falling out of love and wondering what went wrong. In Who's Who, Calman listed his recreations as 'brooding and worrying'. He might have added falling in love - sometimes disastrously. One thing is for sure - no one captured the triumphs and defeats in the war between the sexes so hilariously and succinctly. Let's Compromise and Say I'm Right provides the perfect opportunity to revisit, and laugh along with, one of the great humourists and features a special foreword by Calman's friend and Monty Python star, Michael Palin. I'd recommend this volume to anyone in love or thinking of getting married. Or, more particularly, to anyone out of love and wondering where it all went wrong. These wonderful cartoons won't stem the tears but they might just produce some choking laughter. And that's a start. - Michael Palin
