Title: Farmer Johnson's Psycho Dairy Farm
Date: 1992
Publisher: Dell
Writer: Steve Phillips
Artist: Steve Phillips
Trade paperback collection of one-panel gag strips featuring a cast of cows, pigs, chickens, and one somewhat befuddled farmer. The cartoons are reminiscent of Gary Larson's work. They lightly touch on politics, animal rights, and environmentalism in some cases, but mostly just stick to goofy sight gags and puns. There are definitely some laughs to be had here, but Phillips mostly sticks to fairly obvious and unsubtle humor.
He does do a good job with series of jokes, coming up with some cute variations once he's off and running with a theme (cows of different decades was pretty amusing).
All in all, this was entertaining in the sense that it made me laugh, but I didn't feel like there was anything all that groundbreaking or original here.
Rating: 5.5/10
Note: I'm selling my copy of this book for $.75 here.
