The Cartoons Of Roz Chast

March 29, 2007 / 2:18 PM EDT / CBS News

Roz Chast has been drawing cartoons for New Yorker magazine since 1978. Editor David Remnick wrote that her cartoons convey a comic sense of "domestic anxiety." Here she pokes fun at the self-help craze.

Chast, a Brooklyn native, just released a book of her selected cartoons called "Theories of Everything." This cartoon makes fun of "The Serial Universe," a book by J. W. Dunne.

Chast, who now lives in Connecticut, astutely notes here that a free-range chicken will still end up the same way as other chickens do.

Chast imagines a man able to summarize his life using words that all begin with "B."

Not even T.S. Elliot is safe from Chast. In this cartoon, she somehow connects the poet to J. Crew.

A delusional man sings "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'" from "Oklahoma!" while misery persists around him.

According to Chast, "Heartbreak Hotel" isn't just an Elvis song -- it's a real place.
