5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another funny look at grad school, May 22, 2007
By Dr R M. Siegfried (Garden City, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I discovered Jorge Cham's online comic strip (which also appears in many campus newspapers) by accident and took to it immediately. Despite being out of graduate school a couple of decades, it all rings true (with a small exaggeration here and there). I bought the first two collections and my son grabbed them and devoured them. At eleven, he knows more about qualifying exams than Regents' exams (which high school students have to take here in New York), which is a little scary.

This book is Cham's third collection and he still does it. The comics are original, the art is quite good and he threw in his illustrated journal from his tours around the country.

There are only two drawbacks to the strip: it can scare you out of going to grad school and if you do go, reading it can occupy so much of your time that it will delay your completing your thesis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better artwork, still hilarious!, September 17, 2008
PhD comics is a must-have for all graduate students, and is enjoyable even if your experience in academic life is limited.

With this third volume, the artwork gets better and better, even though the b/w printing doesn't do justice to the online full color versions.

With Mike's graduation in volume 2, his appearances get less frequent, which is a pity.

The final part of the volume includes the "tales from the field" account of the author's promotional tour spanning more than 50 universities.
