Fourteen artists provide their own takes on the classic joke. Setup is on the recto, payoff on the verso, with each page-turn revealing the punch line. Some are traditional, others play with children's book texts; the freshest break the rules. The varying styles and interpretations defy thematic unity, but kids mired in the knock-knock phase of life will find this bagatelle pleasantly diverting.
