Overlooked classic of the Undergrounds.,
By Cujo (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Binky Brown Sampler (Paperback)
This is a great collection. 'Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary' is a real masterpiece, a disturbing autobiographical story of neurosis and catholic guilt. Any fan of Robert Crumb or the Drawn & Quarterly crowd of autobio anti-heroes should appreciate this. Also contains many shorter pieces of excellent quality that first appeared in rags like Arcade, Raw, and Weirdo. Most people would ignore such intense and honest work, but why should you?

Excellent,
By Julia Green (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Binky Brown Sampler (Paperback)
Even if this wasn't my father's book I would still love it. I have Obsessive compulsive disorder as well. When I feel like I am the only crazy person in the world, I read Binky Brown and feel better about myself. A must for all nurotics.

Catholic AND Suffering from OCD! Oy!,
By C. Kaye "remembering_barbara" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Binky Brown Sampler (Paperback)
The best of this kind of autobiographical work is concurrently sad, funny, and truthful - the Binky Brown stories have all of that.
Hmm, Sparhawk doesn't see any of the impact of the rabid catholicism on Binky - just the OCD. She must come from Catholic - lite. 'Cause it's there. He gets into how he handles his OCD as an adult, and mentions that his first wife had been catching on that something was wrong with him. How I would love to hear from him the rest of his story, when and how he felt when he was finally diagnosed, and what is going on in his head now. I have read that he wishes Binky Brown would go away, that it's embarrassing for him now. I hope he doesn't feel that way much longer. Worth your expenditure - get it.
