It's so refreshing to find a comic where all the punchlines are visual gags rather than relying on dialogue. Not all of them were a hit, but I applaud the effort and talent required for this kind of comedy.

Writing summaries for a collection of stories or comics is a challenge. When, flipping through Previews, to order comics, this book's description didn't catch any of our attention. Fortunately, we were shipped a copy by mistake.
I bought it. Two of my coworkers have since ordered it.
Optimistic bunny lives in comically dark world doesn't really do the book justice, so you should just go and check out Buni Comics, and then decide whether or not the bookis for you.
I think it's often hilarious.
I recommend it for people who enjoy unepected punchlines in their silent, three or four panel comics.

This is another collection of comics that have previously been online. Built in audience, don't you know. And if you love all things Buni, you will love this collection.
But, if you are not familiar with Buni, below are two cartoons from the book. As you can tell, the humor is dark, and odd. Buni always has a sunny disposition, even if the world around him is crap. And perhaps that is a good way to go through life, but I found the cartoons sort of sad.
It is a good collection of these sorts of cartoons, and there are some laughs in there.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I try very hard to share reviews that are both positive but also suggest also checking out the book even if I don't like it. I love comics, I loved the idea behind this one because well honestly it really fits behind my sense of humor really well! But I just couldn't get behind it. The way it was pitched and the way it played out didn't seem to match to me. Individually I would love the comics. Together they just don't seem to work. I checked out the webpage when I was looking into the author. I really do like the comics. The bunny is so stupidly optimistic in such a messed up world and in a way it's like me and I can appreciate that. I do suggest checking the book out obviously what is not for me can be for someone else. Also, make sure to check out the author.

[3.5 stars]
These comics were a nice mix of funny, sweet, and twisted. Just a cute book to flip through for a laugh and a smile.

I‰ЫЄm falling in love with this comic so, so, so much.
Some of the comics are about how shitty life is, but how happiness is really a state of mind. How we should always find happiness in even the most horrible and disturbing of situations.
Well, they also show how disturbing life can really be.
You‰ЫЄll notice I used the word ‰ЫПdisturbing‰Ыќ twice in this review. (Well, 3 times now.) If this kind of humor can‰ЫЄt make you laugh, you may want to avoid this book.
But if you can laugh at life and the crazy shit it throws at you, you might really enjoy this.

Just so that you know, this adorable little wordless comic made me make involuntary happy sounds.
Buni is just what people need these days. It’s a mix of whimsy, cynicism, and wonder, and ends up making you feel better about pretty much everything.
More please

This was a super charming quick read. Loved the lack of dialogue because the story art was enough to convey the message. The art was simple enough to stand out but we'll thought out and meaningful.

Very very funny. Just basic jokes with a bunny as the main character. Very simple and absurd jokes, but the kind of stuff that makes me laugh a lot. I just loved it!

Okay, this book killed me! Perfect for fans of Cyanide And Happiness, and another great book to add to your coffee table collection. This book takes disturbing thoughts, and makes them laugh out loud funny. I loved every single page! I am already planning to gift this book to 5 of my gritty comedy loving friends.
Before coming across this book on NetGalley, I hadn't heard of Robyn Harding, but I can assure you that I will be on the lookout for her other books after reading this one. Starting from the very first page, I was completely drawn into this story. The characters were well-rounded, and I found the main character to be quite relatable. Although I figured out some of the mystery, the book kept me interested right to the end, and i actually ended up finishing it in a day and a half. I will definitely be recommending this book to my thriller/mystery loving friends.
