Some of these were funny and some u was just like uh okay. But I wanted to like these. To grab them when you're having a bad day just for a little chuckle but it just didn't do it for me
This book is a fun comic strip like feel for adults. It will make you chuckle and smile. It was a fun, quick read.
2 Dumb Dinos is part funny, part insight into American humour and part just silliness. I loved this even though it was a quick read. The blurb does mention Peanuts and as a long time fan of that I could definitely see the formula of the Peanuts strip in there.
The artwork, while simple, is cute and effective at conveying the message. The subject matter is far reaching and even as someone in England I found bits funny and relatable. All in all I hope we see more of these in the future.
As always thank you to Titan Books for the copy to review. My review is always honest and truthful.
Honestly? I didn't care for it very much. I have a pretty broad sense of humor, but a lot of what was intended to be funny in this book just didn't work for me. It could be that I am too old to get it. But it just did not tickle me very much. I need humor that, even if it is absurdist, I can see how it works. Here a lot of the punchlines just did not seem connected to the earlier panels. And for several that did, I found nothing to laugh about. I really wanted to like it. Now I just feel old.
(I received this book from the editor and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
I do know that my kind of humour is a very particular one, but sadly I only chuckled a couple of times and found the rest of the jokes nonsensical. Yes, I see that the title is Two Dumb Dinos, but at times it felt like I was the dumb one, not being able to understand what was going on or where I was supposed to laugh.
Unfortunately this is a No for me.
I found that this book was one that had me giggling in quite a few places and I loved the illustrations that bring the stories on the strips to life!
I hadn't heard of this author, or illustration until I picked the book up and I am really pleased that I chose the book to give it as a go as there was plenty of content.
I can see this being a hit with those that already follow them and hopefully will introduce them to new people such as myself - a fab cartoon strip I found this book funny and I was laughing at most of it.
It is 3.5 stars from me for this one, rounded up to 4 stars for Goodreads and Amazon.
Unfortunately this wasn´t for me. I don´t really get the humour in dumb dinos but I´m sure there´s others who might really enjoy it. The illustrations are fun though.
The title really intrigued me but except from a few strips most of them don't really meet my humor, unfortunately.
Thank you net gallery and the publisher for this arc copy. I found this book funny and I was laughing at most of it. I really liked the illustrations they were so well drawn and so creative. I liked this comic as it was such a good read and the things the dinos came out with were so cool and the dino conversations is what kept me wanting to keep reading the comic. I really liked the name of this comic book the author did a good job in naming it. I will definitely be re reading this book when it is fully published. I am sure loads of people will love this comic book. Xxx
This was not really my humor so I didn’t really find many of the comics very funny :/ it was a cool idea though to put comic strips from over the years into a book.
