By Wulfstan TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on October 21, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Warning, this is a very weird book- that will either make you go "huh?" or laugh yourself sick. Or perhaps both. Judah Friedlander is a comedy writer, but perhaps best known as TV writer Frank Rossitano on 30 Rock. He also wrote the satirical karate book "How To Beat Up Anybody." (I found that book rather more funny than this).

The cartoons are reminiscent of the Far Side, so for those looking for more Gary Larson-type strangeness will likely enjoy this. For example, one page shows two buildings, one with a sign “Yoga” and the other “50 Dollar Cupcakes,” with the caption “Where to Meet Women in Manhattan". (New York is one of the most used subjects).

“Goth Crayon Box" was hilarious.

There's also a mini- story: “Gentrification Man,” a “superhero for the rich and overprivileged who “stands up for the rights of corporations.”

Note that although Judah can be very funny, his art is there more to entertain than look nice.

I adore this book! It's a great present for that brainy/funny person in your life. I have it as a coffe table book and my friend always love it. The cartoons are thoughtful and even a little dark at times, but I enjoy the dose of reality with my humor; while its brainy, it's also super approachable, filled with social and historical commentary about stuff we all know about, nothing "cult" or "exclusively academic" about the subject matter.

This book is adorable, frightening, insightful and guaranteed to make you think. I was not able to read it very well on the treadmill, so would suggest curling up with this one. An excellent winter read and a great gift for any fan of Judah and/or 30 Rock~! The humor is in the same vein. Someone needs a smile and this book will deliver it.

I bought this on a whim and glad I did. Mr. Friedlander's drawings made me laugh out loud, chuckle, go "huh?" and some I could not decipher. A brilliant mind at work. I recommend this book.

When you're the World Champion of the World sometimes words can't describe what's going on in your head. In that case just draw it. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, well these drawings somehow are worth twice that.

When you need a break from life just pick up this book and flip through a few pages. On the day that I received it I found that I was already half way through when I told myself that I needed to take a break and save some for another day. It's not a book that I see myself reading more than once but is a good conversation piece for visitors. (some PG-13 content). Maybe I'll take advantage of the insert your own drawings pages in the back of the book.

After watching Judah Friedlander on the Daily Show, I decided that my beloved would really enjoy this book so I gave it to him as a Christmas present. He reads a few pages at a time and has been enjoying it on and off ever since. The cartoons speak truth in a strange, dark, and funny way.

There's not much you can say about a book of cartoons. They're either good, or they're bad. I suppose there IS a third option: they can be really, really great, like those in this collection.

Some are odd, some bizarre, some political, some social commentary, and every damn one wonderful. Not one person in my family isn't a fan, including my sister in Scotland whom I showed many of these to via Skype.

No wonder Judah is World Champion.

I just received this book in the mail and started reading as soon as I sat down on the couch until I was done. It was so much fun because you have no idea of what you'll find from one page to the next. Judah's humor ranges from thought provoking to pure silliness. I couldn't put it down! Totally recommend this book to anyone with a good sense of humor.
