Who Did It?

February 21, 2022 1:57 PM

Somewhere in the mid-2000s, I remember a book (by someone who I thought was a NY Times writer) that was full of humorous, hand drawn Venn diagrams. I think it became a best seller. I am having no luck finding it online. Help!

Could it have been one of these books by Michelle Rial?

Indexed by Jessica Hagy?

I remember Hugh Macleod doing Venn diagrams on his Gaping Void blog, amongst other art. Some of it got printed, but I don't know about book form. Time frame fits (mid 2000s) at least.

Comedian Demetri Martin did a lot of Venn diagrams and wrote a book called This is a Book

What about Xkcd: Volume 0 (published 2005)? Randall Munroe does lots of funny Venn diagrams.
