librarianryan's review against another edition
3.0
While this is not my type of humor, and there seems to be no real ebb and flow to the comics within, it was an okay read. The strips were divided into major groupings which helped, but it is a very dry sense of humor. Fans of Dilbert will enjoy these strips.

4.75 stars instead of 5 because of "weird hyphenations"*
If you like the previous book or the web comics, you'll like this book. This book only has comics, no flash stories.
*My only gripe is that some of the comics have weird hyphenations. For example, on page 19, the word "compare" is hyphenated "com-pare" with "-pare" on a second line, which seems unnecessary. This is done frequently, so frequently that I'm not certain if it is for comedic effect or not, but I found it distracting.

This is a collection of comics about a strange world, not unlike our own. Despite the ghosts, talking animals, and "the general absence of any coherent laws of nature," the stories are ones we can relate to and understand, after all, that is the original goal.
I finished this collection of comics in a single sitting but one can really stop and come back at any point. The book is divided into five sections: The Human Experience, Social Creatures, Changes, A Strange World, and Thoughts on Things. Some comics hit close to home and really made me think, while others just left me giggling. Reza Farazmand's hyper self-aware sense of humor is an acquired taste, but one I quite enjoy.

Reza is freaking hilarious. I liked the first compilation a little more but this one was solid and amazing nonetheless. Highly recommended! And first book completed in 2018!
