Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book. I found the online strip a bit too hit & miss, but in this collection it seems more consistent. Some genuine funny moments & pop culture observations here.

Thanks to Diamond Book Distributors who publish lots of graphic novels (yay!) and shared one as an ARC. Mcnamee’s humor really cracked me up in some panels. This is definitely for adults, but I could see quite a few pages being of great use in lessons in a middle school/high school classroom. You do need to have background with fairy tales and other older famous stories (like the creation story) to understand the humor. I did laugh aloud for a few and that’s pretty impressive in my book! A dinosaur who is smashing cities who realizes maybe he’s not feeling it today.. a kid asking God for swag.. there’s a few funny gems in here. A fun read if it matches your style of humor and you’re a fan of graphic novels/ comics. I also wanted to mention that I really did enjoy the style of his simple drawings— it works well paired with his humor.

**Big Thanks to NetGalley for lending me a digital copy of this.**

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I love fairy tales, and this had jokes about fairy tales and modern content. I laughed a lot.

These are for adults, I guess that's one to stress. Some of the comics I shared with my kids, other pages I swiped through immediately. I had read it first. But just keep it for yourself to be safe.

I found it interesting that the creator had suffered an injury that changed how he drew, and these comics came out of the recovery.

I highly recommend this comic!

Fanciful, funny, and occasionally surreal humor occasionally spoiled by unnecessary, very foul language and a few over-the-line digs at Christianity.

This was an unexpected gem I found in net Galley's 'read now' selection, which is always a hit and miss affair. This was a hit. The graphic novel consists of simply-drawn cartoons - several panels and sometimes more than one page to each topic, illustrating humorous and unexpected outcomes to stories arising from assorted inspirations such as fairy tales, pop culture, religion and so on.

The very first one, for example, shows Goldilocks entering a room and unsuccessfully sampling various servings of porridge, and eventually revealing that the reasons she cannot find one to her taste is that this is hell and it's where porridge thieves are sent!

That's the kind of humor, and sometimes it's hit and sometimes miss. There were several of these I simply didn't get, or I did get (or thought I did!), but did not find funny, but there are enough here that anyone is bound to find something to their taste. The closest better-known example of this kind of humor that I can reference are the cartoons of The Far Side, although this is a bit different from that. I had the same feeling of hit and miss with those cartoons that I do with this, but this was, overall, funny enough and original enough that I consider it a worthy read.

This collection of short, comics that have been online before has simple drawings, but not simple humor. Sometimes the humor is stubble. Sometimes it hits you over head. Some strips are funnier than others. But, quite a lot are laugh out loud funny. These images below are not the funniest. They are just funny random ones I picked out The whole book is 130 pages long, of which most of these are the aforementioned cartoons.

These cartoons are pretty timeless, as they are caught up in humor from revisiting old fairy tales, or common legends, or Genesis.

If you find these humorous, you will enjoy the whole book If you find these offensive, then don't bother picking it up, as there are quite a bit more of the same.

#GoldilocksAndTheInfiniteBears:APieComicsCollection #NetGalley

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

Goldilocks and the Infinite Bears is a collection of comics that are short, sweet and for the most part hilarious! I found myself shaking my head and chuckling at some of the quirkiest humor I've seen in a long time. Lots of fun!

I thought this was an interesting collection of mini-comics and panels. The eclectic mix had something for everyone. There were some clunkers in there but overall, it was worth reading.

McNamee's is exactly the kind of fun and wonderfully ridiculous work one would want to have around whenever anyone is in need of an absurd pick-me-up. In other words, by this reader's standards it's nothing short of top notch comic collection.

2.5 Stars - This collection of comics didn't really impress me.

Out of the entire book, only 3 comics made me laugh; the Harry Potter references didn't even get a giggle out of me. To say this wasn't my sense of humor is an understatement. Additionally, the art style was almost too simple. I can appreciate the effort that went into this book, but it just wasn't for me.

This is a fun collection of quirky comics often with an unexpected twist. It was a quick and easy read that I really enjoyed.

This is a fun comic collection. I thought the stories would be all about the Goldilocks and the infinite bears as the title suggested, but they're actually only vaguely connected.

The stories range from based on fairy tales, classic superhero comics, to just random stuff. Some of them are hilarious. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud in public when I read them. But there are some that genuinely confuse me, too.

For me, it's another fun little book to read through coffee breaks. It might be great to have it in your phone to read from anywhere.
