This is actually a lot more than a "humorous comic". First of all, its non-fiction. Second of all, the author made this book he says in part to examine ethical issues of right and wrong.
The book is filled with peole who do things that to most of us, don't really seem that bad, or bad at all, but they feel extremeley guilty(like the single chick who had a one night stand) which is a hilarious story by the way.
Then there are the people who do atrocious things (like the guy who obsseses over then carries out fiendish schemes to kill his neighbors crazy cat) and feels absoltuely no remorse.
Its interesting, because it kind of puts things in perspective an dthat even if you do things that are wrong, the really scary ones are the people who justify themselves with all sorts of twisted logic.
There's probably more to it than that, and hes says it better than I in the introduction. He is probably one of the most underrated artistis I know of, I just wish this book was longer.

I didn't reflect it in my rating but his diagonal eyeballs really annoy me.
He did a terrible job telling these stories and the art didn't aid in understanding. I was constantly confused without the correct context. Unnecessary choronological jumps back and forth were his worst offense.
Good idea POOR EXECUTION.
I liked his introduction- it's better than the work itself.
