review 1: These are very evil penguins. Maliciously, murderously evil. I don't like them. Partly, I like my evil things cute, like my leg-gnawing-but-unbelievably-adorable cat. I mean, if all or most of the penguins in this slim little volume looked like the one chasing Hello, Kitty! and friends I just might be in love. But they're very very angry little penguins. Partly, death and guts depress me. Partly, I like evil like in the SourPatch Kids commercials. Which I guess would be less evil and more sour. My favorite comic in the whole book was the penguin flushing the toilet while the guy was showering, followed by the penguin fish-slapping the bear sitting in the salmon stream. Neither of which are inherently evil; just mischievous. To conclude, you will likely only find... more this book entertaining or amusing if you like murder, blood, and guts caused by semi-cute smallish animals. Otherwise, be prepared for wry chuckles and mild sadness.
review 2: I enjoyed quite a few of these cartoons. My favorites are: the spray wielders at the cosmetic counter, the Great Wall of China, the baseball dugout, the cola and the polar bear, the hair dryer and the polar bear, in the vending machine, the endangered birds, and the toilet flush.Unfortunately, there numerous ones that I didn’t find at all funny or found only slightly amusing.This book’s concept reminded me of the Bunny Suicides books and a bit of The Far Side, but I didn’t like it quite as much as those cartoons. (Of course, Gary Larsen’s The Far Side is my very favorite comic. For me, nothing comes close to those comics.) I did get many genuine smiles out of this book and I do plan to read the author’s upcoming book [Evil Cats:]. I think that penguins are adorable so it was a hoot to see them depicted as evil. less
