Life in the Stupidverse by Tom Tomorrow

4.0

---

Okay, here's the thing: this is funny, but it's a dark funny. I'm giving this props for successfully skewering this past twenty years we've been living through (I know it's really just been four years, but it feels like twenty), but I must acknowledge that not everyone is going to be able to handle this yet, it's too soon, still too real. Had I read these strips one at a time as they came out, I could laugh harder, but in big chunks, it's too much. This is a me thing, and I'm not going to fault the author for it. Years from now, I'll be able to read this and laugh harder. I have less delicate friends who I know would enjoy this now, and laugh like crazed monkeys at it. Now, not every strip is great, but the humor's pretty even, no duds.
