Product Description

Cute Gone Bad

What does Kawaii Not mean, you ask? Well, kawaii is the Japanese term for "cute," as in, "Look at the fuzzy kitten, he's so kawaii," and not is an English term meaning "not." It's that simple. These subversive comics combine Japanese-inspired cute with Meghan Murphy's truly quirky sense of humor, creating a strange and beautiful hybrid that is as crazy and crude as it is adorable.

Inside, find:

  • 100 original comics with perforated pages
  • Stickers! Nothing is more kawaii than stickers!
  • A "How Kawaii Are You?" quiz, a Kawaii Horoscope, and a Kawaii Manifesto


About the Author

Meghan Murphy is a freelance illustrator and webcomic artist who first started Kawaii Not on a bizarre lark, but instead found a true calling in exploring the dark side of cute. She continues to delve deeper and draw weirder with each passing day. Visit her at kawaiinot.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Cubicle Addition, April 22, 2008
I have the book sitting on my desk and people come in all the time to flip through it. Everyone leaves laughing! It's not too raunchy (well minus a few that might be considered not exactly 'work safe') and the majority of them of hysterical. My personal favorite is the chainsaw "whir!" but a lot of the engineers are partial to the can of botulism.

I love the way it props up even though the cover gives me a bit of trouble sometimes. It's a great book to share.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just my type of humor, July 12, 2008
After spending some time in Japan, I find that Meghan Murphy pokes delightful fun at the culture of kawaii.

Besides the bountiful collection wonderful four pane commic there's a few treats like the manifesto, kawii-o-scope and a short story.
As an added bonus, I find that the way the book is constructed lends itself nicely to turning each commic into a postcard. My friends love recieving them.
I'd recommend this as a gift to anyone over 13, seeing as some references and wording are a more adult.

If you want to get an idea of what the humor is like, Ms. Murphy has constructed a website: [...]. Most of what you see there is also in the book. I hope you enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars HILARIOUS!! and OH SO CUTE!, May 29, 2008
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!

randomly found this in a book store & started flipping through it and i couldn't put it down! I love the (sometimes) inappropiate humor...but it definitely says the things I'm sure some of us think of! :)

Showed it off at my office & my friends LOVE it too!! We're picking up more copies so they have their own...

Looking forward to another collection! (HOPEFULLY SOON!!)
