Amazon.com Review
Let's set the record straight: this collection of newspaper humor strips has nothing--nothing--to do with golf, golf-playing cats, dancing bugs, or even nondancing bugs. What it does include are unbelievably funny satires on everything and anything. You'll find crazy send-ups featuring "Dennis the Menace II Society"; the O.J. Simpson story with Matt Groening's Simpsons characters; "Sam Roland: the Detective Who Dies,"; and "Harvey Richards, Lawyer for Children" (1-800-KKIDLAW: the extra K is for extra kouncil). My favorite spoof is the wonderfully sublime "Dichotomies of Bob," a Zen-like observation of a couch potato. And if you don't believe me, Rolling Stone called Tom the Dancing Bug the "hot comic strip" of the year.

Customer Reviews

it has nothing to do with golf or cats
but if sarcasm and "a new beverage-holding appendage on all humans" is appealing to you, you will not regret this book. Bolling explores what would happen if O.J. Simpson had been a character on The Simpsons; if Disney made a musical cartoon of Kafka's The Trial. Follow the adventures of "Sam Roland, the Detective Who Dies." Learn helpful law tips from "Harvey Richards, Lawyer for Children." See the earth overtaken by giant wombats. Sex, religion, television, and giant nap-taking aliens. It's all here. Why fight it?

Buy This Book!
There are two great cartoonist that have come out otf this decade; Tom Tomorrow and Ruben Bolling. This is Ruben Bollings first collection of cartoons in print and it's original, hilarious, off beat, and ecclectic- satire at its best!

NO Overstatement: The Greatest Stories Ever Told!
Well, maybe a little bit of an overstatement. But I did find them more humorous than The Bible (except for that Job, he could bring me to tears). Funny, hip and way smarter than you and I, Ruben Bolling is a man for all seasons (except Fall and Winter). Do yourself a favor and enjoy some quiet time, but after that's over grab this book and laugh uproariously!
