5.0 out of 5 stars
Seriously?, July 10, 2010
This review is from: Petey & Pussy (Hardcover)
How is it that this book has not yet been reviewed on Amazon?
Brilliantly funny work by cartoonist Kerschbaum has been the norm, but to finally have a larger storyline by him is fantastic -- and in hardcover format!
Anthropomorphic "funny animal" comics are nothing new, but the profane and strangely matter-of-fact adventures of "Petey and Pussy" make them inhabitants of their very own genre. Kerschbaum looks at the lives of pets and sees what few of us see; these poor creatures lead remarkably bland existences, punctuated by harrowing life-and-death struggles. It's like being in the army, only a lot funnier because we invest no anxiety into these characters. We might if Kerschbaum drew them more realistically but his ingenious choice to give them human heads removes any such obstacle to our enjoyment.
It would be hard to discuss what makes this book hilarious without getting into particulars, and that would spoil the fun for new readers. What I can say is that you've never seen anything like it before. And you WILL laugh!
