Customer Reviews

A Lot Of Fun

I read this book on a flight to Chicago and it was a lot of fun. Judd's humor is dead-on when it comes to the absurdity of the modern day workplace (and society of that matter). While this book is just "quickie" one panel strips, they are extremly funny. People who find strips like Dilbert, the Far Side and Bloom County will want to check this book out.

What Dilbert should be!

In the steel-caged match of Dilbert vs. Winick, I'm amazed that more people haven't noticed Winick. The guy's got a true talent for going after the "smart-joke." Yes, there are a few that fall short, but a lot of these cartoons give me that same feeling that used to come from reading Bloom County. I don't know what the other reviewers were reading, but they're missing the point. Of course, if you're a cranky whitebread little surburbanite who's jealous that they weren't on the Real World, and you prefer something unchallenging, then naturally this book isn't for you. But if you want to see raw, new cartoons that don't go for the obvious joke, this is the one to buy.

Not like every other cartoon book....THANK GOD!

Judd Winick, creator of "Frumpy the Clown" is back in the cartoon sphere of life, where by his fans he has been sorely missed. Most know Winick from his time on MTV's "the Real World." But, this book helps to illustrate that his talent was not allowed the spotlight it deserved on that show. Being a fan of Frumpy, and missing my daily dose of humor, this book provides me with the laughter Winick's art has always provided me. Winick unlike all other cartoonists has new ideas and thoughts on our world and has not become a sell out Jim Davis. It is thinking man's humor and Winick's sardonic wit is much appreciated in the world of commercialized cartoon art. Thank you Judd for not creating a Dilbert!!!
