This is a minicomic collection of absurd and humorous comic strips featuring characters like Time Shark, the Human Assassin Robot, Space Turtle, Big Fat Old Pig. The jokes range from quirky and surreal to tasteless shock-value humor (trigger warning: a couple of the strips use suicide as a punchline). It was a bit of a mixed bag as far as my own sense of humor went. I did love the two ridiculous Time Shark strips that bookend the collection.

There are some very clever ideas in here, and even the jokes that didn't work for me felt original and went in unexpected directions.

Rating: 5.5/10
