I'm tempted to invoke TV critic Alan Sepinall's use of "dayenu" for this book, but as a non-Jew, I don't think I get to do it. So instead I'll go for the gentile version, which is to say that the book is fantastic on many levels, and would have been great even without the extra tidbits.
At it's most basic, Wondermark is a blend of Victorian visual sensibilities and modern-day/postmodern Internet humor, and instead of being jarring, it's hysterical. Malki has a sense of humor More...

Wondermark is one of the many best webcomics in existence right now. And Clever Tricks to Stave off Death is one of the few best webcomic collections. I'd read every single one of these strips before, but re-reading them in this beautiful, gorgeously designed volume—interspersed with olde-tymey advertisements and pages of lies—I realized this was arguably the better way to enjoy the genius of Wondermark.

I love the Wondermark strips online and after chancing on the latest collection in a great comic shop in Wellington I snapped it up (always been too lazy to order one online).
Strange, surreal, odd and very funny (for the most part). Well worth checking out.

You can get a pretty good sense of whether this book is for you or not by visiting www.wondermark.com. I picked this up randomly and think it's hilarious. I'm not as crazy about Beards Of Our Forefathers (a collection of earlier material that isn't as consistently funny), but Clever Tricks is definitely worth your time and cash if you like strips like Achewood, Perry Bible Fellowship, and Dinosaur Comics. And I'm looking forward to future volumes!

David Malki! spells his name with an exclamation point. I like this book so much that I don't mind copying him. Silly and clever and really fun. And absurd. Anyway, I like smart folks so much.

More fun than a tour of a rope factory, more dangerous than communist pirate ninjas on unicycles, more relevant and incisive than just about anything else out there.
