This review is from: Bunny Suicides (Postcard Book): Little Fluffy Rabbits Who Just Don't Want to Live Anymore (Mass Market Paperback)

For some reason, it's completely endearing and hilarious for bunnies to try to commit suicide. Perhaps it's because the ingenious and absurd machines, traps, and situations they put themselves in require a tremendously dark wit, and we don't expect these dandelion munchers to express such cynicism.

There are a number of people who try to imitate Andy Riley's bunny suicide comics, and they sometimes come out all wrong. For example, they tend to show the death of the bunny. This is unfortunate, because the joke is in the reader's mind, trying to figure what the bunny is thinking and how the suicide will work, not showing the reader the gruesome death.

People with a dark sense of humor (and, of course, their snail mail friends) will enjoy this book of post cards, and judging from the way it has been out of stock at some bookstores, there are a lot of us out there.

Anyone who has ever worked in the mental health industry knows that you have to develop a fairly morbid sense of humor to cope. Or, you can just be one sick puppy and love it anyway!

I keep this book at work, and when colleagues are having a bad time, they come and borrow it, and the cute and crazy fluffy bunnies who jump into the deep fat fryer just makes them laugh out loud! Perhaps we can all relate?

Most people read these and take a minute to realize what's happening on each page. And then there is the ten seconds of realization followed by brief disgust and poorly hidden childish glee.
Seriously, if you were a suicidal bunny, how would YOU do it? Jump into the blender at Ben and Jerry's? The sky's the limit!

It's so bad, it's good!

I really like it. I already sent them to lots of my friends, and they just love the cards, just like me. These postcards are so cute and interesting.
