I didn't like it, I wasn't offended, but it wasn't for me. Maybe it is a cultural thing, because some things I didn't get. Boring and I rarely laughed while reading.

So four white guys think jokes about rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, and pedophilia are funny, as long as they call it edgy? Hmm.

The good stuff was great but the bad stuff was APPALLING. Jokes about rape, domestic violence and pedophilia are not 'edgy', they are despicable.

I found this book on the side of the road, and only read it cause I wanted to add to my reading numbers for the year. I didn’t laugh a single time. I might end up putting it back where I found it.

As a fan of the Cyanide and Happiness webcomic, it's pretty obvious that I would like this book filled with crude, often disgusting and always non-PC comics, although I would never have spent the money to buy it even with its bonus, never-before-seen comics, (sorry Explosm, I'm happy for you and all, I'm just poor and would rather spend my money on real literature).
However I was super happy to receive this collection for Christmas, so I did enjoy reading the comics, and so I would recommend this as a gift to anyone who enjoys reading webcomics, although, as the introduction to this book says, if you are under 15 or over 50, there's a good chance something inside the covers will offend you, so beware kids and seniors.

This was a Christmas present, and I read it knowing a bit about the webcomic and knowing it wasn't really my thing. The absurdist stuff is great, and several strips made me laugh out loud, but unfortunately a lot of the rest relies on shock value and being as gross, creepy and offensive as possible. It got a bit boring after a while. Which is a shame, because the stuff that doesn't rely on violent sexism or laughing at child abuse is really funny.
