Most of the comics are about how felines really secretly want to off us. Every comic was 100% accurate and hilarious. I was getting afraid for a moment that this realism might put me off of gatos. But this book actually makes me love them more.
As with any sort of collection of humorous skits, there's always one episode that runs rather long. And just not all that funny. Amazon Women on the Moon has the Funeral Roast skit. The Kentucky Fried Movie has 'A Fistful of Yen'. How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You has 'The Bobcats.'
It's about 2 cats, both named Bob, who work in an office. If you read Dilbert- imagine both Dogbert and Catbert as the office bullies. (oh imagine Catbert has a clone.) Now throw in the Mike Judge opus Office Space and you have this skit. Some segments are funny. Some are just cruel. It makes you wonder how these cats haven't been fired yet. Plus, why did these meanies get hired in the first place?
The 'Bobcats' was the weakest part of this book. It ran about 30 pages too long. Plus, all of a sudden, there's swear words and 'douche' and 'nards' insults are liberally peppered throughout. It wasn't all that necessary.
If you are a cat lover with a sense of humor, you'll love the one and two page gags. Every single one is something use servants to those furballs we call precious pusses can relate to. I just hate that the 'Bobcats' threw off the pacing to this rapid fire funny book. That skit was broken down into days of the week. I think if Inman had spread those days out throughout the book instead of smack down right in the middle, I would have enjoyed those parts more and it would have made for a better flow.
A funny book devoted to living with kitties. But in need of some better organization of the content.
Worth Consuming!
