About the Book

WARNING!!! This book was not written by a marriage counsellor. It was written and illustrated by an 80-year-old cartoonist who was married three times and found more humour in that than any lasting pain. He also puts a lot of emphasis on just plain common sense, which, unfortunately, many unhappy marriages do not seem to have.

You might find a portrait of your spouse that seems to fit all too perfectly, and this may not be so funny. However you can use this, if you wish, to call attention to something you have been waiting to say, but could not find the words. We hope it evokes some guilt together with a grin, and results in a needed change. But, don't be surprised if it works in reverse, and you wind up with the very same "medicine" after your lover starts to thumb through some other pages. But that's what happy marriages are all about?

Anyhow - good luck, and stay smoochie.

About the Author

Jerry Waxman, a.k.a. "J-Wax" is a professional cartoonist-caricaturist in the Houston, Texas area. At 16 he apprenticed to Mr. Herbert Block at the NEA in Cleveland, Ohio one summer. "Herblock" later went on to become that world-famous Pulitzer-winning political cartoonist of the Washington Post. Jerry Waxman joined the US Marine Corps soon after World War II had started and created a lot of artwork, illustrating a demonstration manual and cartooning for camp newspapers. Trained as a topographical draftsman, he went to S-2 Intelligence Section of the Marine Base at Pago Pago, American Samoa, then completed his hitch by creating posters and other training aids for the Marine Officer Training Schools at Quantico, Virginia.

After the war, Jerry raised his family in the Cleveland-Warren area of Ohio and became Design director for a number of large industrial exhibit builders, creating shows for many conventions, State and World's Fairs in the USA and Canada. In 1965 he moved to Dallas, Texas, designing for many of the nation's largest petroleum firms exhibiting at the Astrohall complex in Houston. After forty years in the business, he felt in need of a change so he accepted a position as the Interior Designer for the City of Dallas, and later as a staff artist for the Houston Chronicle where he retired in 1989. At the age of 70 he decided to pool all his experiences into the design and construction of a Veterans Memorial Museum in Katy, Texas where he continues to write a weekly Veterans column for the Katy Times newspaper.
