Brevity 3

by Guy Endore-Kaiser, Rodd Perry

Brevity is "laugh-out-loud funny." --Michael Price, co-executive producer, The Simpsons In the world of Brevity, you're either driving in the car-pool lane or the "weirdo with no friends lane." With the third Brevity comic collection, creators Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry combine their satirical tendencies with a minimalist illustration style to create a unique critique on popular culture. From chronicling the Penguin Olympics to revealing the violence associated with creamed corn, Brevity is not only the soul of wit, but a sharply intelligent, amusingly idiosyncratic, and uproariously funny read that dares you to ponder the facts behind Barbie and Ken's breakup. ( It has something to do with a major component in their relationship being made out of plastic.) Brevity offers readers a slightly skewed and diversely satirical view of the world as inhabited by an array of nerds, animals, socks, jocks, superheroes, historical icons, and fairy tale favorites.

[Ted Mallory · Rating 4 out of 5]

Guy and rOdd are just incredibly funny. It's like it took 2 people to replace Gary Larson. If there's a bad thing about their collections it's that because their cartoons are so funny and engaging, you can't put it down- consequently, you finish it too fast and still want more.

Better than Brevity 1 but far, far away from getting to where they want to be (Simpsons/Far Side territory).
