Steve Martin Interview With Roz Chast

Steve Martin interviews the cartoonist Roz Chast in this video from the The New Yorker festival held last October. It's funny and interesting for people who like her work (like me). She says she likes to laugh and has been drawing things to make herself laugh since she was 4 years old.

In the interview Steve Martin mentions a children's book of the alphabet, that he and Roz Chast collaborated on, that sounds good. Steve Martin wrote the funniest couplets he could think of for each letter of the alphabet and Roz Chast did the illustrations. The book is due out next year.
