Is Diss A System Milt Gross Comic Reader

"(W) Ari Y. Kelman (A) Milt Gross Milt Gross, a Bronx-born cartoonist and animator, wrote comics and newspaper columns in the unmistakable accent of Jewish immigrants, becoming one of the most famous humorists in the United States by the end of the 1920s. Gross adapted the sounds of ethnic humor to develop a sensibility that grew from a knowledge of immigrant life. Is Diss a System? presents some of the most outstanding and hilarious examples of Jewish dialect humor drawn from the books Gross published between 1926 and 1928, providing a fresh opportunity to read and laugh at this nearly forgotten forefather of American Jewish humor."
