Do you read the Oatmeal on a regular basis? Then you have seen most if not all of the cartoons in this book. But, then, if you read the Oatmeal on a regular basis, you also love these cartoons, and here is a chance to have them in a print collection.
Matt started by imagining his two dogs as middle-aged men, and showed how hilarious it is if you see them doing all the regular dog things, but as people. It is a funny book, but I didn't laugh quite so much as the first time I saw his cartoons.
So, good for people who want a printed collection of The Oatmeal's cartoons, and also a good way to convert friends and family to reading his cartoons.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I'm not sure why it is so humorous to see dog behavior depicted as performed by middle aged men, but it is! I laughed out loud. This is a fun little gift book.

Kennt ihr das, wenn ihr ein Buch lest, und euch nur denkt "Wie kommt der Autor auf sowas? Was geht in seinem Kopf vor?"

THIS is more like it.
Inman's humor manages to simultaneously be both flamboyant and insightful (as perfectly illustrated by the title: IF MY DOGS WERE A PAIR OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN, b/c, you know, why not?), the combination making your sides ache with laughter.

Then this:
And about thirty more pages of similar havoc ensues. Highly recommended the next time you need a good belly laugh or three.

I don't often read adult comics but this one struck me due to the humorous element of seeing dogs depicted as humans! I find both human and animal behaviours fascinating, so this comic book definitely made me chuckle. I only gave it four stars as I would liked to have seen it a bit longer. All pet-owners can relate to the behaviours depicted in this book!
I'll certainly be looking out for others in the series.
