I supported the Kickstarter for this book, and I am delighted to finally have it in my hands and be able to read it! Nothing really new is found in this book if you are a fan of the artists, but I still love seeing their comics in a book, happy I can support them. I really love seeing all the different styles together. I also love the cover, see my favourite artists doing weird things. :P I am delighted to read that there is going to be a next volume, though I do hope that we will get some new works by the artists picked then.

Comics are always hit or miss, but this one definitely has some funny comics in there! And I'm always happy to support small artists. There were a few strips where the panels didn't seem to be in the right order, so I'm wondering if there was an issue in production.

i liked it! every single ones of False Knees was right up my alley & the last three pages were hilarious too (im following the artist somewhere) ((And omg hte golden medal one)). but i also didnt like all of them; thats the weird part about trying to review an anthology of very different styles and humours but oh well
