review 1: A great little find. Fun , entertaining read and just loved the mood and humor in it all. Keep in mind , Im the exact target audience for this particular book. I give bonus grading when it comes to original indie books like this one from Joe Ollman. I also give bonus kudos to writers who illustrate their own stories like Joe. I give this a strong 4+ out of 5. This is definitely for a specific audience ,the title kind of tells you who its for.
review 2: Wah wah wah I'm middle aged. Actually, I thought the essential dilemma (work sucks, messing stuff up, family distant, gotten a crush on a children's singer) was pretty compelling, if done before, it seemed like he was speaking from his actual life rather than from some universal stereotype of an angry middle-aged... more dude (ahem Clowes). I think that the second storyline of the pretty/grumpy singer lady and her own troubles with selling out and growing up was unconvincing and possibly even unnecessary, and Ollman didn't do a super-convincing women's voice, but, eh. I also liked the artistic style maybe a little more than it deserved - scribbly, on-edge, deliberately ugly. A somewhat less creative-adventurous/more functional Ken Dahl/Gabby Schulz. Now that's a grumpy dude I like. less
