It would seem like a conventional childhood, although Kaplan's anecdotes are accompanied by his signature drawings of family outings and life at home-road trips, milk crates, hamsters, ashtrays, a toupee, a platypus, and much more. Kaplan's cartoons, although simple, are never straightforward; they encompass an easy irony and dark humor that often cuts straight to the truth of experience. Brilliantly relatable and genuinely moving, \u003ci\u003eI Was a Child\u003c\/i\u003e is about our attempts to understand the mysteries that are our parents, our families, and ourselves.","brand":"Blue Rider Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214432792831,"sku":"9780399183416","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780399183416_s600x595.jpg?v=1775582106","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780399183416","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
