Consistently brilliant, always hilarious, Jim Benton is one of the best cartoonists on the web right now. -- Matthew Inman, TheOatmeal.com
"""Consistently brilliant, always hilarious, Jim Benton is one of the best cartoonists on the web right now."" -- Matthew Inman, TheOatmeal.com ""Essentially, if you or your recipient like books that make you want to photograph and tweet every page, you should buy this."" --Holly Brockwell, gadgette.com ""Twisted, brutally honest and laugh out loud comics...this book is the perfect gift for someone who needs to lighten up! Well recommended."" --Joseph's Reviews ""Easy to pick up but hard to put down...Pick up a copy of this hilarious new book, you won't be disappointed!"" --PopCulturez.com ""It was marvelously entertaining, because Benton is obviously insane, or insanely creative. Not two gags were very much alike, and tone and subject matter ranged from light-hearted 'The Far Side' kind of stuff, to the black humor of Charles Addams' 'The Addams Family, ' and everywhere in between. 'Dog Butts' turned out to be genuinely original and very entertaining."" --Chicago Tribune ""If laughter is the best medicine, then your insurance company should reimburse you for the cost of this book."" --Jerry Zucker, director, Airplane!, Top Secret!, and other films"
Twisted, brutally honest and laugh out loud comics...this book is the perfect gift for someone who needs to lighten up! Well recommended. --Joseph's Reviews
