B. Kliban’s vast body of playful, surreal irreverent free-form work is well overdue for re-discovery. An innovator who significantly expanded the realm of cartooning, Kliban inspired a generation with his no-limits approach. His numerous books – Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, Whack Your Porcupine, Two Guys Fooling Around With the Moon among them – spread the Kliban vision far and wide, and put the term “Klibanesque” in the dictionary. His constructions – whether single-panel drawings (“Mental floss.”), multi-panel sequences (“Four Useless Motions”) or eight-panel image-poems (“Sheer Pottery”) – push fearlessly forward into unexplored territory. Welcome to his unique and compelling world.

Be sure to always take a bicycle pump with you, to blow up your head before ordering from the menu..

Or, never have a head smaller than what you are about to eat.

One of the three rules: (1) Never eat anything bigger than your head; (2) Never eat anything that looks like vomit; and (3) Never eat anything that contains tomatoes. Pizza violates all three rules.

It’s all so confusing. Some things are light and fluffy, full of air and you could eat that have be fine, having consumed only a small amount. But a tennis ball is full of air and smaller than your head but eating one of those wouldn’t turn out well.
La Bamba restaurants that advertise “Burritos as big as your head” are bumping right up against it.
Prof_Bleen’s rules are obviously wrong in regards to pizza. By the logical extension of his first rule as applied to pizza, one could never eat a hamburger or bacon because cows and pigs are bigger than you head.
