Hilarious and so, so real to life.

**I received and voluntarily read an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

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.
