Product Description

Toothpaste for Dinner offers a sarcastic but honest portrayal of modern existence. The characters, barely more than stick figures, provide a blank slate on which readers can impose their own experiences and frustrations. Everyone has a coworker who regales them with tales of weekend drunkenness, or swings by their cubicle every day with an insipid joke. We want to tell our boss that nobody cares about the antics of her craaaazy cats, or that despite his idea that he’s the "office clown," everyone hates the IT guy. We never say these things aloud, but we want to. And the indignities of modern life go well beyond the office. We all know the frustration of standing in line behind someone having a much-too-personal mobile-phone conversation, or the problem of deciding whether an article of clothing is ironically hip or just plain stupid. But then there’s Drew, in his internet fiefdom, saying the things we can’t, pondering the confusing, annoying and just plain weird, and making us feel a bit less alone.

Drew's Awesomeness in a Nutshell.
Finally, a published collection of Drew drawings!! Toothpaste for Dinner is the greatest webcomic ever written, with comedy and references spreading all horizons. I've been a huge TPFD fan for years now and some of my absolute favorites are here, including a slightly altered version of "Paper Jam."

The best thing about Drew is he knows exactly how people work and calls them out on some of the lame things we say and do just for social acceptance. For example, the one where the man complains about the bathroom smelling, and Drew replies "Yeah, it's almost like people pull their pants down in there and poop." Little things like that show the brilliant mind of Drew in action, and this book celebrates it all. It even has an introduction by the man himself. Not that anyone else would or should, but yeah.

Anything by Drew I will eat up automatically, but this book really is a great collection to take with you to keep yourself entertained wherever you go. My ONLY complaint is the lack of Robarb in the book, but the quality of drawings in here more than makes up for it. I hope this is the first of many TPFD collections, because having them in print is awesome when the internet breaks.

Amazing.
Great selection of some of the best Toothpaste for Dinner cartoons all smooshed into one book you can fit in your pocket...if you have an abnormally large ass...

Anyway, buy it. Read it over and over. Make your friends read it and buy it and read it over and over.

Drew 2008.

Drew, as always, a genius.
This small book, though just hardly touching on the surface of Drew's awesome sense of humor, is still gold.

It includes many of the classics that any avid Toothpaste fan should know by heart, but many, many others.

While I must agree that some of the selections aren't my top picks, any person would still be hard pressed to not find several good ones that they can laugh along with. This book is only for those with a certain sort of humor - certainly, as commented before, not as universal as most mainstream comics - and many of the jokes are difficult to pick up on without having been exposed to other information or situations beforehand. But, even with that being said, I believe it is still a work of genius, and anyone and everyone with a thinking brain should be able to enjoy this book in some way.
