Non Sequitur S Beastly Things

by Wiley Miller

If a cartoonist successfully captures life's humorous and ironic moments in three short panels, readers applaud. When Wiley does the same in his single-scene format, they roll on the carpet laughing.... This description may be from another edition of this product.

In a class by himself

Anyone trying to make sense of modern culture is bound to fail. Wiley's job, it seems, it to show why. The cartoons are all just a little off from reality - it's not the difference that's so amusing, but the realities that he lampoons. I get a taste of Wiley in my daily newspaper. This collection is a feast, a treasure of daily and sunday strips. Now that I see them collected, the recurring themes and characters are even more apparent and enjoyable.My one complaint about this book is density - or lack of it. Other comic strip collections in this format print at least five or six dailies per page - this usually prints just two or three. Yes, I like being able to see additional detail in each panel. On the whole, I'd prefer more Wiley.

Loved it!

The more life experience you have under your belt the more you will enjoy Wiley's work. Both my husband and I loved this book. It was worth every penny. Just the book to pick up when you want to pick yourself up after a rough day.

Even if it is baaad ...

If you are a) really pessimistic about life in the cities, life in the present or life in general because of b) lawyers, the IRS, families, neighbours, panhandlers, people in general, God and / or c) still have a sense of - admittedly weird - humour left, then this is a book for you. Even if it is baaad!Otherwise enjoy life without it.

It's great !

Love the humour ! Hits home everytime. I love the fact that I am able to relate to real life experiences or topics. One of the best book that I've ever "invested" and a great piece to add to my collection.

Five stars for "Beastly Things"

This collection of Non Sequitur cartoons is amazing. I expected a smaller collection, but this one was massive. A whopping 256 pages of Non Sequitur comics. The book is very well done and it shows the hard work Wiley obviously put into it.If you are a "Non Sequitur" fan, do yourself a favor and buy this book. It's very cool.-Stacy Curtis.
