The Single File: The Complete Collection

Summary: A strip about real life
Review: Howells happy hour experience shines through in a book full of strips about a happless and divorced bunch of barflys who follow lead character Rob (actually based on Howell)through one misadventure after another. I read the strip when it was in a local weekly paper faithfully. Now, all of them are available in one volume. I haven't been through a divorce, but I've had my shair of breakups. Enough to know that The Single Files echoes real life situations. Sit at your local bar long enough and you'll know. Great book. Get one, you'll love it.

Summary: I'm "Hal's" Wife
Review: I am honored to have a copy of The Single File. I was/am part of "The Edge Group" and have seen Robbie draw many cartoons on napkins or anything writeable. I've kept a few of myself that he has drawn. Eventhough "Hal" is portrayed as single, I snagged him a couple of years ago. I love having my husband in a comic strip that Robbie, a dear friend of mine, has drawn. Even if you don't know the characters in the book personally, it's worth reading because so many single people can relate to it. BUY AND READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: Funny, funny
Review: If you like sitting around with your buds having a beer and griping about your ex wives and girlfriends, if youve ever been dumped, divorced, if you ever dialed a 900 number or answered a personal ad or went to therapy, this strip will be right up your alley. I had seen a few of Howells strips in a local paper and always thought they were funny, but when you sit down and read them all as one continuing storyline, they are really great. Howell is a budding talent and his personal experiences transfer to the comic well. His somewhat dry style at times is reminiscent of Doonsebury and some people will get it, others won't. The ones who do will love it. No doubt that most everyone has had friends like these characters. I highly enjoy Howells humor and I think other readers will as well.

Review: Rob's portrayal of characters and the trials and tribulations they encounter is hilarious and insightful. Those of us that work with Rob always look forward to his cartoons and caricatures; The Single File: The Complete Collection is no different. Rob has really nailed what it is to be thirty-something and newly-divorced. I bought extra copies for my family and friends.
