Despite the repetition of the running gag, I never tired of these toons, laughing out loud multiple times at the universality of the surface gag, the metafiction aspect, or its deconstruction of the comic strip format.

Mostly I think it appeals to the broken and pessimistic part of my soul.

Oh no, this didn't work for me.

I don't follow the webcomic, but have come across a couple of them on the internet. However, I think, for me, this comic is best appreciated in small doses. There being so much repetition and them all having the same end, made that it got old very quickly for me. The style was also not really for me. But I guess it will be a nice collection if you're a big fan of the comic.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

This was a lot of fun. It is so simplistic but manages to say and get its point across every time. It makes fun of the world and it’s self. And it’s concept that every strip ends in “Oh No” works well. Normally I wouldn’t have picked up something like this, but I am glad I did. There were some strips by book friends are going to love.
