5.0 out of 5 stars Green Monkeys - More fun than a barrel full, May 23, 2002

This review is from: The Green Monkeys (Paperback)

Green Monkeys brings together new and previously published episodes of this comic strip into a fun-filled, laugh-a-minute adventure of Spider and Flytrap. Those lucky enough to read Green Monkeys in their local newspaper have enjoyed years of 21st Century wit and humor as only Michael and Betty Paraskevas can create. Satrical and endearing, this book can be enjoyed by children and adults (and especially old, stuffy adults) of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everday Humor with Champagne Class, May 13, 2002

This review is from: The Green Monkeys (Paperback)

Being a local, east-end Long Islander, I have been familiar with the myriad works of Mickey and Betty Paraskevas for many years. The Green Monkeys' comic strip speaks to the sublime, existential person in us all without catering to a lofty audience. The humor comes from a simple, "I know exactly what you mean", appeal peppered sometimes with an enigmatic twist that makes you stop and wonder for a bit.
