'Dahler & Nicholls Strike Again!' by Dixie J. Whitted is a collection of one panel comics about a couple police detectives.

The gags are all single panel and follow a couple detectives and the not so bright criminals they pursue. One detective is clumsy, but a real ladies man. The other wears a hat, and that's all I really got from him.

I wanted to like this. It's the kind of thing I should like. Only, I didn't find it very funny. I also felt like if there were jokes or a narrative, I was missing out somehow. The art is passable for this sort of thing, but I also wanted that to be a bit better as well. I find it hard to recommend this to anyone.

I received a review copy of this ebook from BooksGoSocial and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Might appeal to old school comic lovers, but I opted not to purchase this one. I don't think it would appeal to graphic novel readers as there is no narrative.

When I was much younger I treasured a book of the 100 best jokes. If I read it now I'd probably not laugh once but as a child I love the zany humour.
In this book in feel I have regressed. The book has cartoon type jokes set around 2 bundling detectives and a group of criminals who seem as incompetent as the police officers are at catching them.
These are the standing jokes and after a couple of pages they wear thin. The drawings are okay and they have some merit but they do not have real humour other than exploiting their ineptitude and lack of success. The captain of the precinct is always trying to lose them or send them off somewhere. A group of 6-8 pages are devoted to them being loaned to the animal department - I like the one about the penguins but the situation wasn't a rich seam to mine.
I hope my younger self would like them more but it is hard to say. I am rubbish at remembering jokes. Nicholls seems to be the dimwit and most of the comic moments reflect on his misunderstanding or saying stupid things or uttering the first thought that entered his head.
So why did the elephant get stuck up a tree, or was it how do you get an elephant who is stuck up a tree? Wait for it to go to sleep and hope it doesn't fall on you. now i'm sure that isn't how it goes.

This book was really funny. I would love to read the first book. These comics gave me a great laugh, and would be amusing for all people to read.

Unfortunately this book struck very few chords with me. I hadn't read the previous books but I don't think it mattered as there is no real story here. I was expecting it to have some form of plot, rather than be what is essentially a newspaper or magazine comic.
I didn't find the jokes very funny, a few aside. The few jokes I liked have made this a two star review, saving it from the dreaded one.

Not amazing, but enjoyable light reading. I was starting to get a handle on Dahler & Nicholls' personalities right around the time the book ended.

Did I really request a book of cartoons? It seems so!

Well, there is some humour, but it's passage across the Atlantic may have been responsible for some dissonance with a typical British sense of humour. The long UK tradition of humorous seaside postcards and the more recent development of very clever/funny greeting cards to greet a friend's/relative's latest achievement/anniversary sets a very high bar; for this reviewer, at least, Dahler and Nicholls may strike again, but with a somewhat misjudged punch that fails to land a killer blow.

The misadventures of two bumbling detectives, their dog, and the police captain who really doesn't like them.

These are single panel illustrations (one picture and caption tells the story like Family Circus, Marmaduke, etc.) featuring the detective team of Dahler and Nicholls. The art is pretty basic line drawing illustrations and the humor is... hmmm... old fashioned is the best term I can think of to describe the humor. Something along the lines of old vaudeville jokes that are just as likely to make you groan as they are to get a smile or chuckle from you. Moldy Oldie Humor. Reminds me of something you might see in a community newsletter or local giveaway paper.

I can't imagine anyone being offended by these jokes. I'm thinking that might be the whole point, family friendly humor for the whole family. While I wasn't terribly impressed I can see where some people might enjoy this book so I was maybe a little generous in my rating.

*** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this title.

This is book is a series of poorly drawn cartoons about the antics of really inept detectives or police men.

Here is an example of the art and the humor.

This is so bad, so bad, that I almost gave it a one star, but then I found a few cartoons that actually made me smile, even though I never laughed at the lot of them, thus the second star.

Hardly worth the time to read this, much less download it. But it must have some sort of following, as this is the third book in the series. The drawing style reminds me a little of James Thurber, but he had a good excuse, as he was a) better known for being a writer, and b) blind in one eye.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

So-so one-image comics, with dialogue as captions underneath, regarding two pathetic policemen, their boss's efforts to get rid of them, and some random criminal activity. More likely to induce that 'mwah, mwah, mwaahhh' noise than an actual laugh, but not offensively bad.
