It was funny and very true. Nothing extraordinary but certainly a quick laugh over these few pages
I loved Matthew Inman's 'My Dog: The Paradox: A Lovable Discourse about Man's Best Friend'. So I expected this one to be hilarious and heartwarming too. This one made me laugh occasionally, but I so wish this one had a heart.
Short enough that it felt kind of lazy and like Inman has started coasting....
That said, I don't follow everything Inman does so perhaps he is working hard at other things. And it was pretty funny.

Loved it!
I remember my best friend talking about The Oatmeal back in high school or maybe college. I didn’t like him. His drawings creeped me out. Oh have I grown since then! If My Dogs Were a Couple of Middle-Aged Men reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbycvPwr1Wg&t=17s&index=6&list=LLuH1nf5lHJ0mK5dXpxCdM4g but while Cat-Friend, Dog-Friend feels somehow clean, even as Dog-Friend goes to eat Cat-Friend’s vomit, If My Dogs is hilariously disgusting: rolling in muck, panicking when the doorbell rings, eating too fast, sleeping with their butts in their caregiver’s face, making prolonged eye contact while pooing, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
You definitely have to a have a particular sense of humour to enjoy The Oatmeal’s off-beat comics. Not everyone is going to appreciate the idea of two old men behaving like dogs in the most loving and (often) most disgusting sense.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a free copy!
I have been following The Oatmeal for years and I love the innovative comics Matthew Inman comes up with and I was definitely pleased when I discovered that the comic was available in an ebook format.
In If My Dogs Were a Pair of Middle-Aged Men, Inman imagines what it would be like if his two pet dogs were middle-aged men. (spoiler alert: it would be hilarious for a bystander, for Inman, not so much)
As a dog lover and owner of a badly behaved snotty dog myself, I could relate to the comic a lot.
Conclusion: Dogs are extremely creepy when they are two legged paunchy guys who lick their private bits just for the lulz.

I was enthusiastic about reading this book because it's by "The Oatmeal". I didn't love it, but since I don't have a dog I guess I'm not the target audience. It did bring a smile on my face though. Would recommend to dog lovers.
Note: I received a free copy of the book from the publisher. This has not influenced my review in any way.

If My Dogs Were a Pair of Middle-Aged Men is self explanatory in title. It's a laugh out loud depiction of the traits we normally see on dogs, the catch being that they're not dogs at all, but middle-aged men. From taking a bath to playing catch, this will have you laughing in a fit.
I was reading this in my school's cafe and I could not stop laughing. It was great. My only complaint was that this wasn't longer. It's a super quick read, around 30 pages. It's a perfect gift for that special dog-owner in your life.

I received a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for and honest review.
Two things: First, it's from The Oatmeal's Matt Inman so it's not possible that it won't be funny (no matter what my cats say). Second, any frequent reader of The Oatmeal has seen these. Nevertheless, many a dog owner will enjoy them, and this is the perfect book for a cat lover to give a dog lover to help them reassess. 😉
