review 1: Made me laugh out loud several times in the coffee shop I was reading it in, causing alarm as the cover made it look like I was reading a children's book. Meanwhile, was trying to angle the pages so passersby wouldn't see all the penis pics. Also, an extra star for the inspiration that later made me pull out my own sketchbook. Lots of tangential, underground, subtle-yet-in-your-face stuff in here. The colour was fantastic. If you enjoy Lynda Barry, Kate Beaton, Jim Woodring and esoteric comedy, you should dig this.
review 2: Pretty fun, I guess! Maybe I just need to let loose and let her goofy ways knock me over…. but they kind of didn't, and I wonder why. She does do some goofy dirty visual jokes that are fun, sort of scatological humor I smiled at (especia... morelly racy since she dedicates the book to her Mom and Dad and sibs in addition to a guy named Adam…) and just some silly stuff… okay! Kooky! Weirdo! Good, I guess. :) I'm just not sure what all of it adds up to… maybe because I am reading it while also reading Adam Hines' Duncan the Wonderdog, to take a silly break from its serious Great American Novel eco-terrorist genius, so of course I am affected by that context, but I kinda felt "eh". Maybe on a Friday when I am having mixed drinks or something... less
