More About the Author

Tony Carrillo grew up in Tempe, Ariz., where his three major loves were drawing, comedy, and knife throwing. Over the years, he made several unfortunate attempts to combine these three loves into one with tragic results. Finally, Tony decided that two out of three wasn't so bad, and F Minus was born.

This review is from: F Minus (Paperback)

Ever since the classic single-panel comic strip "The Far Side" ended its run, I've been hoping to find a worthy successor. "Brevity" comes close, but I've found it to be somewhat inconsistent. However, "F Minus" is the real deal, and a true treat for all "Far Side" fans looking for a daily dose of offbeat humor.

"F Minus" has a very good hit-to-miss ratio. There aren't many that will leave you groaning or saying "huh?" As with "The Far Side," you can't read just one... you may find yourself finishing this book in one or two sittings (although it's also perfect for dipping into if you just need something to keep you busy for a few minutes.) Fortunately, there's a second collection available when you've finished this one.

Now, lest you think I'm writing this review on the publisher's behalf to pump up sales, I will mention a couple minor complaints: first, the art style, while clear and entertaining, is a bit bland, especially compared to the unique style of "The Far Side." Also, I noticed a couple errors in the captions... a mistake involving the word "its" as opposed to "it's," and a spelling error (on page 121, "parachute" is spelled "parachte", without the "u".) These are of course minor mistakes, but they are distracting and should have been caught by a proofreader.

However, these small issues aside, this is a clever, hilarious strip that all fans of "Far Side"-style humor will really enjoy. "F Minus" gets an "A" from me!
