A good collection of witty and irreverent comics, accompanied by a section of "missed the cut" comics with explanatory comments from the artist.

Recommended for those looking for a Far Side-like comic, but with a darker and more irreverent twist. ( )

It feels so right and so wrong revisiting good ol' PBF. I didn't recall the use of Bukowski's face in the "Gamblin' Man" strip...that was pretty great. The Lost Strip chapter at the end is fabulous and ridiculous. ( )

Comic content is pretty bare-bones, but the book feels wonderfully constructed and the comic's form really benefits from being laid out in coffee-table-book fashion.

The real gold comes at the end, out-takes to show what happens when PBF fails (since it's rarely anything less than a punch to the gut) and a few sketches that let you into the mind of the author.

The final interview is a beautiful read, inspirational even. I would recommend it to the same people who I recommend my self-help collection to. ( )

Hehehehehe. So wrong on so many levels, but quite funny. Good book to leave out for guests to peruse, as long as they're not easily offended. ( )

It's a concentrated dose of the kind of dark, twisted humor that makes you bark with laughter and look away at the same time.
