I REALLY wanted to like this book. I LOVE his illustrations. But he's just not that funny.

These are great. A good collection for writers, but even those who don't write books will enjoy these.

All the comics are around the theme of writing and after a while it gets boring. I preferred the random nature of his previous collection. A lot of these are funny, and some are probably funnier than I’m giving them credit for, but after a while w the same theme it’s repetitive and numbing.

Diary of a Goodreads Challenge: Day 3, Book 5, 21 Books Behind Schedule
It takes a man to admit when he’s way behind on his reading challenge only three days in. And I’m not a man. I’m a reading machine.
I’m behind, okay, but not WAY behind. Not WOEFULLY behind.
Maybe the problem is motivation. It’s not like being behind on rent where someone will kick you out of your house. When you’re behind on a goodreads challenge, you’re just losing a game, really. No further consequences.
Which is why I’m starting Pete’s Goodreads Challenge Compliance Enforcement, LLC. If you’re behind more than a couple books on your challenge at the end of the month, you’ll get a bill from me in the mail. But don’t think about it as a bill from me. Think of it as a bill from yourself, an overdue charge from the bounced check your mouth wrote and your reading can’t cash.
Then, to motivate myself, I’ll only touch the money if I catch up on my goal or if I really want to buy something. Or just mostly feel like buying something.
I think this is the perfect plan. Wish I’d come up with it three days ago. But sometimes a plan needs a minute to steep. Plans are like tea that way.
My plans are also like tea because a lot of them are disgusting. But not everything is a metaphor for plans. Some stuff is just what it is. Like Freud said, sometimes a crappy cup of tea is just a cup of tea someone dunked a cigar in.

Algunas muy buenas en las que demuestra que es 'el dibujante de los amantes de los libros'. El resto una recopilación de viñetas, sin más. Me gustaría leer una novela gráfica a ver que tal se desenvuelve.

Baking With Kafka is another great existential collection of comic strips from master cartoonist Tom Gauld. He is just brilliant.
