Delightfully absurd musings on both everyday life and fantasy from an unusually creative mind. (Kirkus Reviews)

Jess writes: This book is a hilarious collection of the comic strips Matthew Inman – aka The Oatmeal – publishes on his blog theoatmeal.com, including 27 book exclusives. The Oatmeal blog is known for its satirical comics, snarky commentary and illustrated instructions to get you through the more mundane aspects of daily life. From everyday topics such as "How to Use a Semi Colon: the Most Feared Punctuation on Earth", to the more fanciful "Six Reasons Bacon is Better Than True Love" ("love is fleeting, but bacon stays in your arteries for all eternity"), these strips will both enlighten and insult you. Inman's observational humour is married with surreal touches and the variety in the content keeps the collection interesting. This isn't a book you'll read cover to cover but it's one you won't be able to resist dipping into whenever you're in need of a good laugh. If you like slightly absurdist, occasionally crude, very witty comics then 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth will be right up your alley.

"""Matthew Inman is the Gary Larson of the Internet age."" (Ken Wheaton, Advertising Age) ""If Inman isn't a king of the Internet, he's certainly among its royalty. The Oatmeal is one of the most popular humor sites on the web."" (Todd Leopold, CNN) ""In 2009, Inman put his hand to the page, and the world hasn't stopped laughing since."" (Nick Carbone, Time) ""Dangerously funny."" (TODAY.com) ""Delightfully absurd musings on both everyday life and fantasy from an unusually creative mind."" (Kirkus Reviews)"
