Elizabeth Mayoff Shepherd

it's the "laugh inside" kind of funny

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 1999

My friends and I are very addicted to the Jim's Journal books. The best way to read them is to purchase all of the books and read them in a row. It'll only take you about an hour, maybe two.
Jim's Journal was not meant to have a punchline. And that's part of what makes it so funny. It's just a guy drawing little scenes out of his life. He's not documenting the historic moments, but the little silliness that we all go through. When I read "I Went to College..." I would crack up in the middle of a frame because it reminded me so much of myself in college.
There are lots of cartoons out there that don't make you laugh at the last frame, like Zippy the Pinhead or Family Circus. This is one that makes you feel good, make you giggle, and somehow manages to completely engross you even though the topic is nothing.

Since when can't I expect my comedy spoon-fed to me?

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2000

*This is monkey_11 again* "Laughing on the inside?" Sounds like you need to talk with someone. I read your prescription, as it were, for the ideal way to absorb yourself in the world of Jim's Journal, and I have one question: are you getting a piece of Dikkers' pie? Buy all the books in the hopes of generating a chuckle or three? Who am I, Rockefeller? Shoot, I pay rent. Look, I mean no disrespect to Scott Dikkers, I love, love, love the Onion (Tuesday evenings when the website is updated is one of few high points in my small little life) and, in my estimation, anyone who doesn't like Our Dumb Century lacks intelligence, a sense of humor, or a measure of both, but inasmuch as all comedy is more or less brain gum, Jim's Journal is the comic equivalent of the kind we used to find packaged with our baseball cards, stale and flavorless. You'd pop it in your mouth because--oh boy, gum!--but minutes later, it's under a chair or on the street. I've got no real use for it. I like to do my laughing on the outside, and the Onion is one of few things that make me do so. As for Jim's Journal, well, I guess I'm just not the kind of person who fancies sitting by the window on a rainy afternoon with a cup of Earl Grey, thumbing through wistful recollections of the charming and fragile small moments we all experience but never share with each other. You want to do that, your eyes crinkling merrily as you laugh on the inside, fine, have a party in there. To everyone else I say tread carefully.
