Customer Reviews

more fun than a barrel full of monkeys

This book is a just a page turn and a smile in every aspect of production. It's unique and even the most die hard fan will learn something or appreciate the way its presented in this context. I was sad there wasn't more pages to read. But I can always read it again and have a second round of belly laugh's :) Good Buy and the money goes to charity if you buy the full priced version, great idea and well executed !

The one and only of its kind!

Weird but true is a great book, and yeah it is very cheap although I had to pay more I got it in a book store. This books gives you many cool pictures and facts that you don't know about cartoons. They give you quickies, there are no full articles in this book, just quick facts maybe a sentence or two. Heres one, did you know KISS had blood take from them to mix into their comic book? Heres an amazing fact I liked, fulfilling marvel comics write Mark Gruenwald's dying wish, the ashes of his cremated corpse were mixed into the ink used to print the Squadron Supreme comic book ! Talk about ghost writers! This is a cool book and fun to read for an hour. But there are no colored pictures in this book, everything is black and white, I wouldn't suggest giving this to a kid either it's not suitable for a child!

A MUST FOR ANY CARTOON FAN!!!

I loved this book and if you're any sort of a cartoon fan, so will you. It's one of the few books on animated cartoons and comics that I've seen that actually evokes the fun of the artform. Lots of great drawings (many unpublished and rare) and lots of totally useless cartoon trivia to amuse your friends. Plus, it's just so darn cheap. This book is hard to find in stores but I hope it's successful so we can see the second planned edition come to life.

I LOVED IT! I LOVED IT! I laughed as i learned!

zany, crazy , wacky, funny, surprising, sexy, educational, politically incorrect. and WEIRD!

Completely Entertaining- Better than Star Wars!!!

I've never seen such a thorough search of background information about cartoons and comix! This thoughtful and obviously painstaking task of compiling such detail is mindboggling. If you love toons, you can't miss this book! If you WANT to love toons, you should read this book! You won't be able to put it down. This collection of fun and weird factoids is a literary bag of potato chips.
