...first book, I Drink for a Reason, comedian David Cross ponders religion, politics and ideas for T-shirts sold at Urban Outfitters (example: "I Have to Go to the Bathroom"). Familiar to fans of the cult TV hit Arrested Development as the "never-nude" Tobias Fünke, Cross doesn't mince words in print.
