The book explores various aspects of human anatomy — particularly focusing on tummies, teeth, hair, hands, and feet — with a light-hearted and satirical tone. Cobb, known for his wit and observational humor, delights readers with his observations on the quirks and foibles associated with these body parts. In the essays, Cobb reflects on societal attitudes toward body image, particularly discussing the struggles and mishaps faced by individuals with different body types, especially fat men. His musings on the challenges posed by teeth contribute to a humorous narrative that details the comical interactions one has with dentists and the often absurd lengths people go to maintain dental health. Furthermore, his discourse on hair and the trials of grooming illustrates the absurd expectations placed on personal appearance. Through vivid anecdotes and clever comparisons, Cobb invites readers to appreciate the humor in everyday bodily experiences while also commenting on the human condition's inherent absurdities.
