DESCRIPTION:
Sharing the same goofy, over-the-top comic mayhem that was Chaplin's trademark, and preceding the expressive, cartoony art style of MAD magazine legend Harvey Kurtzman, all of He Done Her Wrong's hilarious slapstick, tragic heartbreak, heroism and villainy, character development, high emotions and raucous thrills somehow manages to take place, astonishingly, without a single word of text, or conversation, or even a footnote..

Milt Gross drew a world full of heroes, villains, damsels in distress, and big noses. I read it in 1 sitting, but went back to look at the complex, but deceptively simple looking art work. There are a few gags that wouldn't fly today.
Conceived in response to the wave of wordless picture story books such as Lynd Ward's God's Man, Gross blended elements from dime novels, the high drama of Ward's work and, of course, his own background in the Yiddish humor tradition to create a lengthy work of cartoon genius.
