F Minus
F Minus dares to ponder thoughtful perplexities like, "Why are we here?" "What is life all about?" and "Can I take only one shower per week if it's seven times the normal length?"
* This thinking man's cartoon panel is less than a year old and already appears in more than 100 newspapers.
Short on life lessons, precious moments, and pearls of wisdom, Tony Carrillo's F Minus takes on life's serious issues by pinning them to the ground and stealing their lunch money. (Then it feels a little bit guilty and gives some of the money back.)
* As Carrillo explains, "I draw my material from my experiences at a wide array of failed careers. Over time, I have worked as a pizza cook, Web site designer, dancing costumed character, portrait artist, insurance drone, waiter, custom framer, camel ride attendant at the zoo, and the guy at the airport that waves orange wands at the airplanes. As varied as these jobs were, eventually I had the profound realization that they all had two important things in Each offered a wealth of comedic inspiration and there was always a creepy guy named Larry."

Best comics ever.

Not An F-, I'd give it D for humor. Only a handful of the single-panel comics were clever or even mildly funny, none made me laugh out loud.

For those of you who grew up with Calvin Hobbes and mourned the death - maybe you moved on to Fox Trot or Zits hoping to find a replacement, but it was never quite the same.
Here comes your guy in Tony Carillo and F Minus. I am confident that this will be the next great comic franchise. Taking a 1-panel approach like Farside, F Minus is simply drop-dead hysterical. See for yourself at fminus.net, and i'll bet you end up getting the book.

My friend was over waiting while I was getting ready, reading this book. I loved hearing her laugh repeatedly as she enjoyed the comics.
