I got an ARC of this book.

I can pretty much sum up this book in two words: oh no. 

I don't understand who thought it would be a good idea to gather this comic into a printed version. The punchline is always "oh no". It gets really boring really fast. There were even a few comics that referenced this, but they were not enough to make me excited to read it.

I don't even know what I am supposed to review. It was pretty much the same comic over and over again. It was minimalist, which I normally enjoy, but this time made me feel like I was cheated out of my time for trying to find something to grasp onto.

So it is a no. There is really nothing else to say, oh no.

A very cute collection of adorable and sometimes way too accurate comics about life and all of the "Oh no" moments that we all have.

Extremely fun and quick read, perfect for when you are feeling down and want something relatable that you can finish in one sitting!

I’ve seen this around social media, so I am familiar with it and I remember liking most of the comic strips I have read before. The style on the surface is plain and charming, but the simple artwork reveals maturity underneath. Skilled techniques are hidden by the simplistic approach. The use of the paneling, coloring and speech balloons is superb and adds to the meaning and experience. No space is wasted or unplanned here.

This collection is all about adulting. It tackled themes of parenting, career, gender roles, socialization (or lack of social skills), self image, mortality, morality and many more. We are treated to satirical, self deprecating and meta humor. It is extremely relatable—from birth to growing up and falling in love, and eventually dying—we can all agree that life is sometimes just a big “oh no.” We might as well get a laugh out of it.

I’ve seen many of these disappointing blob comics floating around the internet and they’re so… depressing - it’s hilarious!

Every single comic ends with the punch line “oh no” which somehow just gets funnier with each new comic. They’re also incredibly clever and relatable which just makes it so much better! Also, the childish and sort-of-ugly blobs is kind of growing on me.

I really enjoy seeing these comics when they pop up online. However, reading a whole book of them wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I would recommend this book for existing fans of the comic to dip into from time to time rather than read cover to cover. The comics are just as good as I remembered, just a bit much to read all in one go.

Oh no might be simple in the visual field (still better than any my attempts to draw something resembling a human being). But it somehow connects well with the content. The fatality and pathos. It fits way better than some elaborated and detailed drawing. And I always call myself pink blob on a bad day, easy to relate.

Sometimes you as the reader dread to turn the page because you fear what you will see there. It is a window into our own lives. We all are guilty of more than one thing included in this comic.

It started with me thinking "yes, I know this so well" and going to the fact that I started to think if something is wrong with my life?
It was a nice short, funny comic.

And I have to say that my favourite was Mirror mirror on the wall, I did not see this coming at all.

This little collection is so funny and entertaining despite the simple designs. I enjoyed the fact that the gender of "pink blob" is never confirmed and it plays with various gender stereotypes. An overall light and fast but nonetheless good read.

Now, to be completely honest, I’ve been following Alex Norris’ comic page for a while now, and I enjoy his comics a lot. This book includes some comics that have already been put on his page, and some new ones.

The “oh no” is a running gag, and he often makes fun of this running gag. His comics talk about ordinary, every day things in a funny and relatable way. I like his art style–it’s simple but effective, and the colors are bright but not too jarring.

To be fair, I already knew I would like his book because I liked his comics, but for some of you who may not read comics, I thought I would share my thoughts. I really enjoyed this book, it brightened my day, and I think everyone should check it out.

This is a strange but funny little book. It is full of funny scenarios that end with oh no. This is perfect if you want a quick wee read to cheer yourself up.

Alex Norris creates a completely relatable comic. With minimalist details and blobs as people, who would think "that's totally me!" every time a new one pops up. This viral comic is completely adorable and I will continue to follow Norris' work!

Absolutely terrible and not funny whatsoever. Awful illustrations and I regret picking this up. A complete waste of my time.

Oh man.  These comics will never stop being hilarious.  Many I'd seen before, but many I hadn't.  With his cartoon-esque art style, his comic strips get right down the the point, and boy, is the point a little too real sometimes.  He makes fun of his own strips, uses his comics to bring up relevant point in today's society, and even goes so far so as to critique common phenomena around us and how we interact with it.  Overall, it's a funny, light-hearted collection that brings to light many important personal revelations.

oh no it's just a masterpiece in form of comics. I've been following it for a while now, in it's facebook page and all around the internet. Been saying 'oh no' to anything that slightly inconvenience me because of this comics. So seeing that it was turning into a book I can have in my hands and in my shelf for when I want to just wind up sitting somewhere to read and enjoy some fun comics? Amazing!

It's a collection of very amazing comics that has you laughing, chuckling or just simply smiling at the humor whenever you are. I read it all in the bus coming home to work, and all you could see was me smiling at the screen of my phone as I read it.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance of reading this ARC in exchange of a honest review!

Like a lot of people, I've seen Webcomic Name online but kind of only knew it as the "oh no" comic. These were cute, but like a lot of other webcomic compilations I felt like this got repetitive after a while, especially since the punchline was similar every time. It was nice, but I wouldn't pick this up again and I wouldn't pick up more in the future. I think it's kind of difficult to review because this happens with a lot of webcomic books where people say "Oh, I've liked what I've seen before" but it isn't really enough to constitute a whole book.

Considering the amount of webcomics I seem to come across, I’m surprised I haven’t seen this one before!

I’ve seen reviews that have called this repetitive, but that’s the joke! It works, and there’s nothing wrong with that, in fact I found myself relating to the little guy through most of the pages. I think for anyone who needs a pick me up (I’ll admit I hadn’t had a very good day when I read this one), this is definitely worth a read - it’s short, it’s quick with the jokes, & it made me laugh a lot, which is always a good sign.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC

I absolutely love these web comics, so I was happy to see a whole collection was being published! They're so cute and relatable, especially to a cynic like me. I loved the book!

Webcomics are a constant on my Facebook feed. Beyond the ones that crop up when my friends or other pages post them, I also follow comics like They Talk and Fowl Language. For me, it is a nice way to replicate newspaper comic strips, while being able to tailor the content specifically to my enjoyment, rather than reading a bunch of comics I don’t like to get to the ones I do. It is fascinating to see publishers like Andrews McMeel picking these webcomics up and publishing them alongside the major newspaper strips. I’d encountered some of the “oh no” gag comics before, and I thought I would give this collection of comics from Webcomic Name a shot.
This is usually where I give a stunningly brilliant tease of the plot. However, given that every single strip is a one-page stand-alone sequence, there isn’t really a way for me give a hint of the overarching plot. What I will say is that each comic is based around the standard three-panel design, and every single one uses “oh no” as the punchline.
Every. Single. One.
As a gag, this lost steam very quickly. What seems funny when it occasionally comes across your newsfeed absolutely struggles when it is presented in large doses. Occasionally some of these wrapped back around to funny, and the collection seemed to find its sweet spot around two-thirds of the way in, but this really doesn’t stand well as a collection. I love reading through collections of Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, or Far Side. They are able to present themselves as a functional unit with diverse strengths. You won’t find that in oh no.
If you are a diehard fan of Webcomic Name and the “oh no” gag, then this collection might work for you. But for casual fans, avoid snagging this book.

A very funny collection of Oh No comics. Quite funny and have you saying oh no alongside the characters :)

I'm unfamiliar with Alex Norris, and after reading this I'm surprised I've never seen their work before! Extremely relatable and funny, I read this quick, flipping the pages and thinking to myself 'yep. Been there.'

Unique and creative artistic design and well done comics overall. Highly enjoyed! :)
