I'm here to tell ya what the furniture police don't want you to know... Listen close. I'll explain everything..

This laugh-out-loud send-up of conspiracy theories brings Adam Rubin's trademark zany humor together with the richly expressive artwork of Macanudo creator Liniers to explore the totally, completely true (really! maybe?) history of the world's most beloved - and misunderstood - item of furniture.
