Some of these jokes were hilarious.

I’d never heard of the webcomic <i>Jake Loves Onions</i>, but I enjoyed this book a lot.

I might not check out the webcomic - I liked this as a book; all the comics weren’t funny, so it was nice to skip over ones that weren’t funny, or were just amusing, to get to the really funny ones.

This dude has an odd sense of humor.

Recommended if you like to laugh.

This comic book is one of those with single page jokes. So, what makes it different?

First of all, this isn't relatable comedy (the 'oh, we're so quirky!' kind), which means it's actually funny. This book's type of humor isn't conventional, it reminds me of the type of humor you'd find in reddit.

This book also doesn't try to tell small stories, it focuses on the jokes. However, it doesn't feel like the author is actively trying to be funny, he just is.

All in all, this was a fun read.

I don't know how such bleak comics can be so funny, but here we are... this is a collection of surreal comics that employ a dark humour to make you chuckle. The illustration style is plain and easy on the eye, which somehow makes everything funnier.

This curated selection collection from the webcomic "Jake Likes Onions" perfectly captures Jake Thompsons uniquely dark and absurdist sense of humor, making this a great time for both "Jake Likes Onions" fans and newcomers to his work.

Warning: The Book of Onions contains no onions at all. Instead it contains darkly humorous single page cartoons about life.

Have you ever wondered how Ronald McDonald got his job? Or whether kitchen matches are happy to be chosen for important jobs? Even if you have never had any curiosity whatsoever, I guarantee you will enjoy this madcap dive into the bleakness of life. I doubt you will soon forget the panda face of war. If war turns men into animals, you really do not want to know what it turns the animals into.

Laugh-out-loud moments make this the perfect waiting room read. Some of the themes are rather dark so the Book of Onions is not for children. However, for everyone else it is great. 4 stars!

This book had me in stitches. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

A very fun collection of webcomics. I'd seen way more of these strips than I'd realized, going in, and I think that there is definitely a good reason that they're so well-circulated. Not every strip lands, but those that do are pretty dang funny. The art also really works for me, which is weird because it is stylistically inconsistent, but is almost always done in a way that really helps the joke land.

The cartoons within are all 4 blocks and many were so so very hilarious, I was laughing throughout. Highly recommend.

Short cartoons of just four simple drawings make up this small book.
Filled with some classic laugh out load moments, care if reading on your morning commute or in the library.
I love nonsense humour, a little of that interspersed with wicked observation and literal interpretation of life. It has animal jokes, relationship humour, microbe and virus comedy as well as looking on the brighter side of life even if aliens turn up.
Each quartet of drawings have a distinctive hand in the clever illustrations with speech bubbles and comment with an under written title for the set.
I liked Okay, Steve? and with guilty pleasure "Laughter is the best medicine, Howard."
Stifling chortles I loved "Follow your dreams", "It's a metaphor" and "The power of the tinkle"
Creasing me up LOL, "Worth it" and "My main paranoia"
Stands up with a second read through; a great little coffee table book for people who don't have the room for a nest of tables or a centrepiece coffee table.
Laughter can be the best of medicines but not perhaps if your name is Howard.

Worst comic book I've ever read. Not funny at all. Too many F words and the drawings were awful. This book is not about onions either.

Jake Thompson came up with some of the most outrageous off-the-wall weird and wacky comics. I didn't get past the first page without laughing out loud. Now how's that for an endorsement? My only complaint was that the comedy show ended too soon. Well done.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one!
On first look i was a little disappointed to find just four pictures per gag.
I judged too soon, four was enough, enough to make me laugh out loud through the majority of the book.
Funny, witty, clever,dark, and comical are just a few words that describe this book.

"If you was expecting and educational volume about vegetables i am sorry for wasting your time " even the intro was funny!
Its not possible to put it down once you've started , it draws you in and spits you out at the end!
Brilliant !
