This collection is definitely worth a look, as there are some big laughs sprinkled throughout. It petered out for me toward the end, perhaps because I read the whole book in one shot. Or perhaps because the cartoonist goes back to the standard cartoon tropes pretty regularly, like Noah's Ark, St. Peter at Heaven's pearly gates, Superman, fairy tales, Disney movies, Sesame Street, etc. Those bits are funny, but I think the best strips in the book are the ones without all the pop culture references.
