Love this comic! Can't wait to put this on my coffee table and have my guests rolling on the floor laughing! Simply put, if you like funny things, you're going to love F Minus.

F-Minus is the funniest comic out there today - I am so glad that the book is finally here!

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!

This book is excellent for any fan of f-minus. It always fun to see comics from his college years as well as his comics from the first year of syndication. I highly recommend getting this book.

What a great book. I've been a fan of F-Minus and Carrillo for a while, but this book is full of comics that I have read and some that are new to me and each one is better than the last. I'm just waiting for the sequel.

No, I don't think that is an exageration in the slightest. Tony's comic is awesome. And an entire book dedicated to his comic is awesomely mind blowing. I've never read War and Peace or The Great Gatsby, but I will read this book!

I bought this for my 10 year old son who races to get the paper every day to see F Minus. He loved it! His only complaint was there was only one World's Worst Grandpa. We are planning on getting the other one. We would love too see a collection of World's Worst Grandpa's though!

i love clowns who stand in the corner with their hands in their pants .. it is just funny

A year or two ago, my local newspaper started running the F-Minus daily strip (now if only they'd add it on Sundays). Since then, it has quickly become one of my favorites in the paper. Having come a little late to the F-Minus party, I picked up this book to catch up on past strips. Happily, I can report that I laughed out loud while reading nearly every page. Mr. Carrillo's view of certain situations is priceless, and reminds me a great deal of the old (and dearly beloved) Calvin and Hobbes strip. Even the introduction to this book is hilarious! If you like to laugh, and even if you don't, buy this book. You'll be glad you did.

I really enjoy this book, my kind of sense of humor. With this book, now I don't have to refer back to my hard drive where I save my favorite F-Minus comics when I need a laugh. If you enjoy Garfield comics or not, you will definitely enjoy this book!
