I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
So I wasn’t at first sure if I wanted to read this book, I was curious, but it wasn’t until yesterday, when the publisher posted a page from the book, that I wanted to read this book.
I am more than happy that I finally decided to read this, it was absolutely brilliant. We have some recurring themes (like the king, the pages in between the comics (though I lost track of how that one went), the creation story, unicorns, death), but there are also a ton that only pop by once (or maybe I was too teary-eyed from laughing). All the comics are hilarious.
The comics feature zombies, wolves, ghosts, princesses (sorry, your princess has already left this tower), sheep (what if a sheep doesn’t look like a sheep?), superheroes, did I mention Steve Buscemi?
The zombie apocalypse one on page 89? So me!
There was also one choose your own adventure. A very short one, and um, well um, that ending. I love that you can make it as short as you want (just two panels) or try to make it much longer by not going into the cave.
Of course, I had to share these with my fiance, he is at work while I am sick at home, so I spammed his Whatsapp with many of the comics. I do wonder if he is still in his chair after all the comics, or if he died from trying not to laugh too hard at his work. 😛
The art style just fitted perfected with the weird and silly stories.
All in all, this is one comic I need in my life, and I hope that John McNamee makes more comics.

After a day of reading indie comics about indie comic writers who were too depressed to write indie comics, this was a welcome change. Brief spins on clichés and tropes. Humor is always subjective, but I found myself laughing several times at this collection.
I recommend it for fans of Tom Gauld, people having a succession of bad days, and ducks who look like Steve Buscemi.

This collection of short, comics that have been online before has simple drawings, but not simple humor. Sometimes the humor is stubble. Sometimes it hits you over head. Some strips are funnier than others. But, quite a lot are laugh out loud funny. These images below are not the funniest. They are just funny random ones I picked out The whole book is 130 pages long, of which most of these are the aforementioned cartoons.
These cartoons are pretty timeless, as they are caught up in humor from revisiting old fairy tales, or common legends, or Genesis.
If you find these humorous, you will enjoy the whole book If you find these offensive, then don't bother picking it up, as there are quite a bit more of the same.

This is a collection of one and two page comic strips that were obviously created by someone who worked at the Onion. Almost every page is genuinely funny, and many of the comics were actually "LOL" funny for me. There is a lot of humor around contemporary perspectives on mythological or historical contexts, like "The Romans had a god for everything." is met by the god of eye crust and the god of atheism. Goldilocks finds herself in a hell for porridge thieves, infinite bowls of porridge, something wrong with each of them. It is a really funny book that would be really successful on a coffee table or waiting room, where someone can pick it up and read 1-3 pages at a time.
I received a copy of this book free from netgalley but these perspectives and opinions are solely my own.

A humorous collection of simply illustrated pop culture comics that's worth a read. I'll have to seek out more of McNamee's work. (e-galley from NetGalley)

I really enjoyed this! I did wish some of the comics were a little longer but other than that, this was a funny, quick read! Definitely will read more of the series!

So funny!! Definitely for a mature audience due to language and some content, but very funny.
