Reviews

[G. Salter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm slowly learning the following:
1) I like the Wizard of Id (written by Brant Parker, drawn by Johnny Hart) better than I like B.C. (written and drawn by Johnny Hart), even though the material is very similar. I assume that means I like Brant Parker's writing better, or maybe caveman jokes just don't do it for me.
2) I don't laugh a lot while reading the Wizard of Id, but I laugh a lot 6 months/6 years later when I think about the jokes. Perhaps I find the humor a bit too dry in the moment (which is saying a lot, given that my relatives assure me I have the driest humor of anyone they know).
All this is to say that that I'll probably come back in a few years and up this book's rating to 4 stars. In the meantime, I liked it and would say, "sure give it a shot" to anyone who asked.

Fun as usual, some humor a bit to dry.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Some of the pieces were very funny but I felt a few too many fell flat for me.

I love puns and simple elegant line drawings, so I loved this
