I had mixed feelings about reading this book. Finally, late one night, I managed to open the book to a random page and start reading. I was sucked in. My own thoughts were expressed in ways I never thought possible. In many ways this is the best book I have ever read. Soon I'll start to write a second book. -Shannon Wheeler

My older son picked up a copy of this graphic novel at a library book sale. It's been languishing around the house for a few years. A week ago, it turned up on the kitchen table. On a lark, I picked it up and started reading it. I was immediately sucked in.

While I'm not much on graphic novels, this one is well done. It's well drawn, the dialogue (and monologue) is first-rate, and the wit is, well, dripping.

I'm happy I read it -- I had a blast. Now I need another cup of coffee, I think. While I find the pot, you go find this book and read it.

A great read. I couldn't put it down, even when confronted by wild children and an irate spouse. TMCM does battle with the contradictions and idiocy of everyday life, saves the men of Mars, screams at the dirty dishes, wanders about naked, and leaves us with a sense of wonder (or is it wonderment?) at his nicotine and caffeine induced "super" powers. Wheeler's wry social commentary aligns him with the likes of Outcault, Herriman, McKay and Bushmiller. TMCM is a sure antidote to drivel like "Zippy" (not to mention the fact that it is far better drawn). Spare poor Shannon Wheeler the pain of seeing his work ignored. Read this book. Write a review. Keep the pot fresh. The Guatman

Back in early 1999 I used to be friends with some guy(whoes name I won't mention.). And we were Going to start a band. During my time with him he introduced me to alternative comic books. Like 'Hate', 'Eightball' and this goofy superhero named Too Much Coffee Man .So I bought issue #3 from him and another comic book. And boy, was it funny as hell. Well,after a mounth and a half we parted ways due to our musical creativity. After he left I was depressed from other things from my life other then Whatshisname. But then I found 'Too Much Coffee Man:Guide for the Perplexed' at my local comic book shop. And the stories made me feel better about things. And it was really funny also. No mattered how much my life sucked. One of my favorite stories was where TMCM died,went to Heaven and then to Hell. And as 'Too Much Coffie Man' always say "If you can't be happy naturally.Be happy UNnaturally"
