There are about six comics I can think of right off the top of my head that are interchangeable in both art style and humor to the comics in this book*.

I found it randomly in B&N!recommends it for: Anyone that likes my sense of humor :)

You've got to have a really dark sense of humor
Some of this is wet your pants funny. Some is heavy handed. I wouldn't let my kid read it but I enjoyed it.

Reminds me of Cyanide and Happiness (web comic).
Non-American humour (such as this book) cracks me up.

Freakin' hilarious. Some of the drawings a little crude, but most of them are side-splitters
