5.0 out of 5 stars People give me strange looks when I laugh out loud while reading this January 10, 2011

By Chris Pederick

Format:Paperback

What's not to love? The artwork is perfectly simple, the humor is hilariously twisted and the quality of the book is great. Plus you have the pleasure of telling people that you are currently reading a book called Paper Doll Orgy.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOLs that will make you pee your pants...literally. January 11, 2011

By E. D. MATHEWS

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Ted McCagg might have been shunned by the New Yorker for his "questionable drawing skills," but his ability to create page after page of hilarious, irreverent, insightful and wickedly funny drawings make me want to tell the haters to suck it.

Get this book for yourself and buy it for twenty of your friends, they'll thank you for turning them onto the up and coming talent genius that is Ted McCagg.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously, enviably, twistedly, brilliantly funny January 10, 2011

By Greg Olear

Format:Paperback

Ted McCagg has one of the more brilliantly twisted minds going. If you don't laugh many, many times while reading this book (of cartoons), you need to have your "sense of humor" chip replaced. (Oh, and: Conan O'Brien agrees with me). Highly recommended.

In certain quiet moments of my day, one of Ted McCagg's drawings will pop into my head and make me laugh. Currently, I'm getting alot of mileage out of "notes of regret." There... just grinned again. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little risky July 21, 2011

By IHRmom

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I used to work with Ted so I thought: maybe I like this book because I used to work with Ted and know how smart and funny he is. But these other reviews tell me Ted is really just funny. I've even given this book to people I don't know so well because it's such a sharp conversation piece. That's the risky part.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had made Paper Doll Orgy. June 5, 2011

By SHANNON OMALLEY

Format:Paperback

Ted McCagg has archived clever, hilarious insights and shrunk-wrapped them into evil little drawings with captions. I just love it. For those of you who want a peek, check out his comics website at [...].

5.0 out of 5 stars Cost per laugh = good ROI January 28, 2011

Someone recommended this book to me the other day. It was pretty cheap on Amazon so I picked it up and was pleasantly surprised. It's tough to pick a favorite but I love the haiku series. I had it out the other night when some friends were over for dinner and everyone found something that made them laugh out loud. Big return for ten bucks on Amazon.
