I very much believe that my assessment or impression from this book is clouded/influenced by two things. I enjoy this dark or even cruel humour, some people may find it horrible or even disgusting, and I totally respect that.
Furthermore, I was in a bit of a down mood, did not want to go to sleep, I did not enjoy the movie my family was watching, I did not feel like reading, so I went to NetGalley to see if I could find some comics or something similar to this.
This caught my attention because the colour was the same as my mood, down and the picture is pretty much me. So, it completely fitted me at the moment.

Apparently, this comics is also published online, but I never saw it before.

I cannot say that I laughed aloud at any of this, but most of the time I had a bit of a smirk. Sometimes I was a bit missing the point, and when I finally found it, it was usually hilarious.

My favourites were the "space" Roomba, ghost bedbugs, snails doing drugs and burying at sea.

But as I said, this book is definitely not for everybody.

I enjoyed most of the comics in this collection. If you don't have a dark sense of humor it may be better to give this one a pass, but if you do, then definitely give it a try.

A collection of webcomics, some I’ve seen before on Instagram. Short and fast read to perk you up when you need cheering up.

I enjoyed these short comics and found them somewhat funny. I would definitely be interested in similar collections and will check out more of this writer's work.

While not every joke landed so many of them were laugh out loud funny. This would be a great addition to my library's humor section.

Sorry I Ruined Your Childhood is the perfect glimpse into short-form humor accompanied by witty and expressive illustrations. Ben Zaehringer's illustrative and narrative style reminded me a lot of Gary Larson's The Far Side. A quick and quippy read - the perfect coffee book table or gift to a friend.

Small collection of short witty comics. Some were really funny, most were just alright, and a few I didn't really get at all. Overall, just average.

The worst part of this book is that it isn't longer. I thought the content was pretty wholesome for the most part, nothing too outrageous. I found most of them to be pretty clever.

A delightful, cynical, laugh-out-loud collection of 3-panel comic strips, that balances an even mix of wickedly dark humor, with genuinely touching moments. The illustrations are endlessly charming and endearing - especially when paired with a dark scenario - and go a long way toward making this book just as enjoyable on the second or third reading. Not every page made me physically laugh, but most did. And they all made me smile.
I received a free advanced copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

I've already seen most of them, but they still made me smile, some of them laugh even. It is great webcomic, that format (three-panel strip) is perfect. It's intelligent, entertaining..

Received a digital ARC of this book via NetGalley.

Really liked. One page comics. Lots of pop culture references.

<em>Sorry I Ruined Your Childhood</em> by Ben Zaehringer is a collection of comics, many of which derive inspiration from various medias many first experienced in childhood. As a Disney raised person, the ones that featured The Little Mermaid and Cinderella were the ones I recognized the most, as Zaehringer mixes in some rather dark and yet realistic humor to make us think about some aspects of the original stories that perhaps we hadn't before.

With simple artwork, <em>Sorry I Ruined Your Childhood</em> exists as quick and clever commentaries on various aspects of the things we understand as children. Ironically, the one that stuck out most to me lies in the potential truth presented behind where Ariel gets her seashell bra from. I found myself giggling a bit at times throughout this book, particularly at the grammar graffiti bit--it's hilarious, trust me--though I'll admit that most weren't enough to elicit a laugh. Even so, it was an enjoyable read with several at least vaguely amusing comics peppered throughout.

I don't personally see this as a book that I'd want to buy for myself since I don't imagine ever picking it up again. That said, I'm glad I had the opportunity to read it. It's definitely the sort of book I would have loved to pick up and thumb through while in a bookstore and I can certainly see merit to having it if you find it particularly amusing.

I don't think I was that familiar with these comics before reading this book. I may have seen one or two here and there online, but never really paid much attention. Collections like this can be hit or miss; sometimes it seems like there's just too much all in one place. But I actually found that the selections here are so diverse that I didn't really get bored or feel like I was seeing too much repetition.

Some of these are laugh-out-loud funny. Some will make you think. There are plenty of pop-culture references for Generation X-ers and Millennials (and Xennials) that'll have you taking a few trips down memory lane. Some of the comics are a little disturbing, but the drawing style is usually so simple that even when things get gory, they're not too difficult to look at.

Overall, I quite enjoyed these. The book is a quick read (you could easily finish in one sitting, if you wanted) but it's packed full of amusing stuff.

There were a couple of chuckles here, but for the most part, I didn't think these were that funny, and there were a few I didn't even understand. Quick read if you like comics but I wouldn't personally recommend.

I received a copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this witty, up to date series of short comics. This was smart and funny and I laughed out loud a number of times while I was reading it.

Very cute and fast little comics. Some will leave you laughing with how funny they are, and some will leave you smiling cause of how cute it is. I wish there was more, it was great, all the illustrations were interesting with just enough details to say whats going on without over crowding it.

Each comic strip is one page long. So when you turn each page you will be wondering what will be in this new comic strip.

I received a free copy of this e comic book free and am giving it an honest review, of my thoughts.

3.5 stars ⭐

There are some pretty nice gems in here. I wasn't familiar with these comics prior to reading them like most but I'll definitely keep an eye out for what he comes up with next.

This collection reminded me of being a kid and getting my hands on my parent's Far Side book. Sorry I Ruined Your Childhood is jokes (sometimes dad jokes) in picture form. They're quick, witty, and frequently dark. Each page could stand alone, which is what makes this book so meme-able. It's a fast read and is at it's best when the comics can be shared with others who get the humor.

This collection of comics is pretty great if you love dark humour. I found almost every page funny and I chuckled to a lot of the comics. The art style is pretty simple, but I liked it, and one can't really expect any breathtaking artwork from a gag comic. To keep it short - this short book is pretty funny and would make a great gift for somebody with wry/dark humour and common knowledge of pop culture.

An arc was kindly provided to me by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for a free copy of this book!

It's a pretty fun coffee table book that house guests will have a good laugh. There were various art styles throughout the whole book, which I surprisingly don't mind. I related to some of them and had a good chuckle. For some, I was wildly surprise because I haven't considered it as a child, but as a young adult now, it does makes sense. There were a few which I didn't get the reference, if any, but were still quite funny enough. Some, I have no idea what it was trying to say. It's fine, though, because it does cater a lot of the ages in the millennial age range. I'd recommend it if you want a good chuckle, and a conversation starter.
