This book is hilarious with every day observation turned on their heads. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a good laugh!
Review to come Early November to blog/Goodreads.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I was a bit disappointed with the last collection by this artist, but this one was just as fantastic as the first one I read. I laughed so so much while reading this one and I shared plenty with my hubby who was on his PC next to me. He also loves these comics. I am glad that this collection was great again, I have to say throughout reading I was a bit worried, because the previous collection wasn't my thing, but in the end I want to say to myself, don't worry!
Once again it is separated in themes, from coping with childhood to coping with society. Each with respective comics fitting the theme and I just loved it.
We also have a couple of recurring comics and we find out how the artist (if that is really him) started with his art (though his older art didn't approve).
All in all, I cannot wait for the next collection to come out. Can't wait to see what title that one will have (on that note, I loved the title to this collection) and what themes we get.
WTF I JUST READ??????????????????????????? AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH???????????
In a collection of little-comic-short-stories, that involves some bad kids, some philosophical young boys that think a lot about adult stuff, really bad parents, an emo and nihilist kid who dresses in all black, an passive-aggressive sun, ghosts, hats, and the horsemen of getting old, this books made me laugh A LOT.
Really.
The humor is so stupid, just the way I like!!! So do yourself a favor and read this, please.

Hilarious and so, so real to life.

Cute drawings, nothing new. Easy to read font, which is always a plus.
Overall, it was nice. Nothing that made me laugh uncontrollably, but nothing that made me want to put the book down and walk away. I've seen funnier, but I've seen worse as well.
Not as successful as "Book Learnin'", this selection of one- or two-page yucks didn't really raise a laugh at all. Some obvious hits at the world's boring people, ignominies and people who can't ever find their purse even after everything's been rung through the till, are OK, but it did seem a bit one-note and joyless. Which was the message it wanted to get across, but that didn't come with any fun on top. Two and a half stars.
Just Act Normal by John McNamee is the third collection from this cartoonist, and my introduction to the world of Pie Comics. While the cartoons themselves are quite simplistic, the messaging contained within is sarcastic, dry, and very relatable. Why do we try so hard to be 'normal', and just who defines 'normal' anyway? I certainly understand the appeal of the strip as a running commentary and critique on modern life and human foible, and I appreciate the truth that bears itself out amidst the funny.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for the opportunity to read this ARC.
