Who knew that owls and hangovers went together as well as rum and coke? The Hungover Owls Tumblr took the Internet by storm as journalist J. Patrick Brown united the two for the first time. Brown’s hilarious, crude, and sometimes not-safe-for-work captions, combined with photos of owls squinting, gawking, snuggling, and sleeping make the perfect partnership. This book includes never-before-seen owl facts, parables, and a field guide for recognizing your very own hungover owl. With captions like “Ugh. The good weather only makes it so much worse” and ”On a scale from zero to hungover, I am dead,” drinkers everywhere will recognize their own forgotten pain and delight in its humor.

The author has a way with words about hangovers. In just a few words, he captures a specific set of emotional, physical, and social difficulties in a way that evokes sympathetic pain from anyone who's battled demon rum. The owls serve to illustrate his grasp of the state of being polluted by alcohol in a way that adds joy and wonder. Consistently funny.

This book is quite hilarious, just as the web site is. My friends and I check it regularly and try to be the first to share the new owls with each other. Anyone who has ever battled a hangover can relate to at least one of these little guys and I can never look at owls the same way now! I still have great reverence for these creatures but this concept takes something many people see one way and puts a new twist on it, and I love that. The book made a great gift for a few of my friends who are really into the site. Thanks for the laughs! :-)

Nice calendar. Not quite what I was expecting size wise (larger) but I love the owl pictures and humor regardless.

Perfect for a college student
I found this and immediately thought of my brother, a 20-year-old college student. Now, anytime he looks to check the date, he cannot keep from laughing. Read more

Not for children or those easily offended. Crude and childish.
This author/illustrator apparently thinks that locker room humor is universally appreciated and I guess that I ordered this book thinking that the humorous parts would be from... Read more
