Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are no duds whatsoever in this collection, every cartoon made uslaugh - some for ages. We quickly became that annoying person who keepscalling everyone over to look at something when they're trying to work."Look at this one though!" "OK, seriously, this is the best one." "LOOKIT'S YOU IN BEAR FORM" and so on. We have no friends left, but nor dohalf the people in the cartoons, which made us feel better." - Holly Brockwell, Gadgette.com

"Moving on, Jim Benton is a madman. His comics are a brilliant breath of fresh air in a webcomics smoking lounge, but he's still a madmannonetheless." - Cameron Hatheway, whysoblu.com

"...this cartoon collection for "People and Advanced Bears" is silly, witty, and laugh-out-loud fun." - Erica Sadun

4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat dated, but still funnier than it should be!

Takes on objects and taboo subjects in good humor. Pleasant reading after a day full of misfortune and woe. Jim Benton, the artist/author is in my opinion on the same level as B. Kliban, with unexpected twists and really funny ideas to suggest a possible new level of world awareness. Humor makes everything better.

I bought this for my kid because he loves Catwad, probably not for kids. I didn’t I realize until after he had read the whole thing. Good thing the book is hilarious and I enjoyed it as well. Probably not suitable for kids but you should let him have it anyways, like soda.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020

I absolutely loved the book, but after a while, it just stopped showing the cartoons and when I open the book, all I see is a question mark on each page. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if so, how to fix it.

Not for kids. Profanity and inappropriate content. Why would this come up in a search for kids’ graphic novels? No where in the description does it mention it is for teenaged children or adults. Im sure it’s funny if it is what you were expecting.

Damned good. And incredibly varied in styles that all absolutely work. I follow his Instagram so some weren’t new to me. Need to get his other book, ‘Dog Butts’.

Jim Benton's humor is untouched. Except by Jerry. Jerry is similar. And Bob. And Hank. Not Elvira though...definitely not Elvira.
