In this episode of "Strip Search: The Comic Strip Podcast," "Pet Peeves" cartoonists Dave London & Pete Chianca interview David Sipress — one of The New Yorker magazine's most well-known contributors — about his wonderful new memoir "What's So Funny," a cartoonist's origin story that delves into tortured family dynamics and hard-learned life lessons that can make you cringe and chuckle all at once.

Also: Dave and Pete have mixed emotions on the "Bloom County" TV show; a plug for the latest must-have comic strip compilation; and the usual banter.
