Summary: It's hilarious!
Review: I bought this book on a whim because it's Author wrote for Incader Zim (which was one of my all-time favorite cartoons ever) and it blew me away. It's short, and the pictures are in black and white, but the last page of the story is priceless.
the second story is just like it says, not as good. but still really neat.
I recomend it fully.

Summary: Wonderful Dark and Silly Humor
Review: I like many others bought this book because of the author's connection with Invader Zim and I was not disappointed.

Anyone with a slightly warped sense of humor over the age of 10 will really enjoy this (especially the young men out there!) and for $2.95 who couldn't cough up the cash for a light fun read.

Highly recommend for cartoon and cat lover's alike! My sister-in-law bought it for me and laughed so hard she bought her own copy!

Summary: Off on a tangent...
Review: If you can appreciate when folks interject personal opinions when they tell a story or go off on tangents then you will love this book. I am not a fan of the morbid, this was just innocently stupid enough to amuse without getting too grotesque.
I would venture to let my 10 year old read it... But probably not a child younger than that. Enjoy, definitely worth the pennies it costs.

Summary: Absurdist juvenile death humor for snot-nosed punks?
Review: Roman Dirge (with a name like that, it's no wonder he's obsessed with death) is the writer/artist for LENORE, THE ADVENTURES OF A CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL, an unfunny ongoing series that is exactly what the title says it is. This literalness seems to be Mr. Dirge's crucial limitation. Some idle phrases run through his head, and he doodles a few panels about them. Ergo the pamphlet at hand, THE CAT WITH A REALLY BIG HEAD AND ONE OTHER STORY THAT ISN'T AS GOOD. Take him at his word. The only thing he doesn't tell you is that THE CAT WITH A REALLY BIG HEAD isn't good either. Avoid this childish dreck from an author who can't spell "misshapen" and writes, "I like to think that magical lung beasts come out of my butt late at night to search for food."

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: Thankfully, this book is pretty cheap. It had a couple of amusing bits, but I think it tries to get way too much out of a pretty ill-thought out idea. I must admit I did laugh out loud at the crotch joke. And the siamese page. It's just a shame that the narration was so shallow and poorly crafted. It was like reading someone's offhanded ravings typed into a web forum. The artwork, while good, is really not detailed or busy enough to compensate for this. The early Lenore series is much better.

Review: This book is sooo funny. Great for juniors. Not so good for little kids because of some language.

Summary: **dies laughing**
Review: this is an edward gorey kind of childrens book and probably wasnt written for children.

regardless, if you are expecting some sort of intellectual stimulation from any "children's" book, this (as the title, i hope, would suggest) isnt the book for you.

this book is well drawn and humerously written. i laughed for days and made all of my friends and coworkers read it as well.

you will find something in these pages that will make you smile.

i promise.

come on. its 2 dollars.

how much are you willing to pay for a chance at laughter?

Summary: Nature and Its Mocking Tone
Review: When I was a child and beginning to bury my mind in the shaded realms of Shel Silverstein, H.P. Lovecraft, Dark Horse Comics, and Edgar Allen Poe, I oftentimes wondered if these thoughts would be allowed to continue in the apex of adulthood. In fables, for instance, the forces of good seemed to triumph over evil as the years went by and try to turn readers from cynicism, and the realms of supposed art always frown upon the world of comic books. My parents didn't love the things I loved and the world seemed to shun the fanciful, and I feared that the movements of silliness as it plays hand in hand with the morbid would be lost. Enter people like Roman Dirge and his partner in writing crime, J. Vasquez, and I see that all those thoughts of growing up had perhaps been too hastily crafted.

Within The Cat With A Really Big Head, there is a short tale fleshed out about a cat that is, amongst other things, born with a really big head. Its short and actually a story being told on one page and is followed by a picture on the next, giving Dirge readers the worlds they are accustomed to while expanding them somewhat. Sometimes this leads to events that are tragically funny, horrible in their demented imagery that make people like myself chuckle, not for the smallest of children because people shield their kids from interesting ideas for some reason, and befittingly affordable. Attached to it is also the "and the other story that isn't as good," which deals with a little girl that dies and returns to ask why. It has more of a rhyming flow and laughs in the face of doom as well, making it a nice companion piece for the story.

For anyone who likes their paintings hung a little off-center and their stories told with an almost childlike curiosity, then this is the place for you. Life is wrapped and stuffed, propped up by the fireplace and commented on with laughter herein, and some people could perhaps find that offensive. Still, ignoring the naysayers is always fun and better still with enjoyable works, so I'd recommend buying this and feeding it to a mind you love.
