Book excerpt: Vincent Truman's "This Is My First Time So Please Be Brutal" depicts over a hundred cartoons from the Chicago artist, ranging from bad puns (toad rage) to sharp-tongued commentary (a priest asks 'why are there no atheists in foxholes', to which a boy replies 'because atheists don't start wars'). This debut collection of illustrations, inspired by such diverse artists as Johnny Hart, B. Kliban and Matt Groening, is at once hysterical, subversive, vile and thought-provoking. Vincent Truman is a celebrated writer, director, actor, artist and producer in Chicago. His theater work is especially well-lauded, garnering him numerous positive notices and articles.
