Customer Reviews

even better than the real thing!

i was excited to some across this book...its so inline with the kind of retro kawaii graphics i love...when i got i was not disappointed!!! its fantastic...just a great book to look at and use as inspiration!!!

Always funny and Stupidly Entertaining

I love these dumb books, I have no idea why really, there just amusing, along the line of Jack Handys " Deep Thoughts"

Another Pop ink triumph

I was worried I wouldn't like this one as much as "Happy Kitty Bunny Pony", but I think I might even like it more. The artwork is gorgeous (and bizarre at times) and funny in its own right, but Mike's comments send it over the edge into pure hilarity. While it may not have the let's-all-pass-it-around-and-laugh potential of HKBP, it's well worth the purchase price. Of the 3 Pop ink-Mike Nelson books I've read, I think this one has the best writing and the art is as good as HKBP.

Love Sick: A Smoldering Look at Love, Lust, and Marriage

Every page of this book is filled with extra sharp graphics, some never see before. A wonderful collection of designs, very bright, clean and well done. Love Sick has combined enjoyable humor with fine graphics (a few sleazy pics too) but all is in good fun for a cute look at a the smoldering look of Love, Lust and Marriage. Love Sick was equally enjoyable as part of the trilogy of "Pop-Ink" graphic books: "Happy Kitty Bunny Pony" and "Goth-Icky" all in my estimation were well done. Enjoyable good fun! All books featured the best and sharpest graphic collection - the best I've ever seen.
