not as funny as I'd hoped... I chuckled out loud maybe twice but overall it was not my sense of humor ( )

Another webcomic print collection. It features animals musing about the world and their own existence, or otherwise doing things that realistically drawn animals wouldn't normally do.

To be honest, this comic's humor isn't generally for me. I like the occasional morbid moments, but there's a sameness to the animals philosophizing at each other. There were rarely any strips that made me laugh, although there were definitely a few that managed to surprise me (like the one with the rabbit announcing its plans for the future).

For me, the really appealing thing about this comic is its artwork. I love the colors and linework. It makes me want to get back to some of the creative activities I used to do, like needle felting and drawing.

funny anthropomorphic cartoons that are also beautifully drawn. From the popular webcomic, falseknees.com. ( )

Exquisite four-color drawings of various animals making surreal conversations. Laughed out loud a lot. You can preview the excellent drawings at the authors website:

Really fun collection of comics that will provide fun for all ages. I love the juxtaposition of detailed, realistic art with irreverent humor. ( )
