THE ART OF RUBE GOLDBERG -- the quintessential book on Rube Goldberg -- has been released by Abrams Comic Arts.  It covers Rube's 70 year career -- with a focus on his iconic invention cartoons that made him a household name.   Adam Gopnik's introduction explains his work in a way that is both simple and complicated and weaves together Mousetrap, Dada, US patents, XKCD, and the atomic bomb into a coherent and brilliant piece that IS a Rube Goldberg! Donated exclusively by Rube's granddaughter, Jennifer. For a sneak peak, click HERE.
