A wonderfully unique and hilarious comic, with enough extras to make the book worthwhile even if you already read the strips online. Yay!

I ordered this on a lark; the cover picture and title struck me as funny. As it turns out, this book is hilarious! It's nice to have it laying around, as you or anyone else can just flip it open, take a moment to read a comic, and get a good laugh. Even my 80 year old grandma is nuts for this series!

Collection of the funniest, wittiest, cleverest, most bizarre and profound comics ever. Victorian illustrations with Monty Pythonesque, surrealist, humor. Can't go wrong with this. Grade: A+

Not since Edward Gorey has a modern humorist used the style of 19th century art so successfully. In fact, I find Clever Tricks much funnier and better drawn than Gorey. The humor is fresh and modern. The art is painstakingly rendered. It's full of quirky marginal notes and a game. If I had the artwork for the Moooooooooon strip I would frame it and put it on my wall.

Mr. Malki! has done it again in another beautifully put together book of his fine comics. I found myself laughing time and again at his clever wit and marveling at the beautiful presentation.

I really cannot recommend this highly enough.
