5.0 out of 5 stars Santa Barbara Surf Award for finest presentation of local talent!, June 9, 2011

This is, without doubt, the finest slice of local talent ever presented in this format. The range of subjects is astounding (I had no idea there was so much humor at this latitude). Nowhere else in cartoondom will you find the variety of texture and style in the artwork. The text, while not Shakespearian, is rich and tastey. All of this is cunningly toasted and garnished by the uncompromising and incomparable editing of Ms Flenniken. A true Northwestern masterpiece to which it was my great joy and privilege to make a tiny contribution.

This review is from: Seattle Laughs: Comic Stories About Seattle (Paperback)

The reviewer from Northern California totally missed the point. Seattle Laugh's is fun, off-beat, and offers up heady number of closet tooners -- both local (including Charles Johnson) and out-of-towners -- who poke fun at the Seattle they know and love. From whale-watching to sipping lattes, Flennigan has caught the ambiance of this wild and wacky city. I love this book! I want more!

I loved this book! Yes, it mentions, coffee, rain and slugs--IT'S SEATTLE! These cartoonists hit the mark--with Captain Coffee, Ten Things I Hate About Seattle, Bigfoot Goes Urban, Slug Sushi my favorite Seattle Light--just to name a few. Obviously light deprivation and caffeine brings out the humor in these folks!
