Not many of us make it into the dictionary as an adjective. But
then again, Rube Goldberg was no ordinary noun. He was a
cartoonist, humorist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor, and
in a 72-year career he wrote and illustrated nearly 50,000
cartoons. Goldberg (1883-1970) was the most famous cartoonist of
his time, best known for his comical inventions, which were
syndicated in daily newspapers throughout the world. Author
Jennifer George celebrates all aspects of her grandfather's career,
from his very first published drawings in his high school newspaper
and college yearbook to his iconic inventions, his comic strips and
advertising work, and his later sculpture and Pulitzer
Prize-winning political cartoons. Also included are essays by noted
comics historians, rare photographs, letters, memorabilia, and
patents, many reproduced here for the first time. Brilliantly
designed and packaged to capture the inventiveness of Rube
Goldberg's work, The Art of Rube Goldberg is a coffee table book
the whole family can enjoy. From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: Rube
Gold*berg. adjective \rub-?g?l(d)-?b?rg\: accomplishing by complex
means what seemingly could be done simply ; also: characterized by
such complex means. also: Rube Gold*berg*i*an "Goldberg's cartoons
touch the edge of modern art." -Adam Gopnik, from his introduction
