Genius. Hilarious, perceptive, and a little too true. Also, the source of the name of our best dog, Bongo.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Vulgar, cruel and one of the best of Groening's work (imo, possibly one of the only contenders against the Simpsons). Simpsons drew much of its inspiration of itchy and scratchy from this book no doubt. Highly recommend for light reading in between exams especially!!!

Intelligent, curiously animated, easy to spot the later influences on the Simpson's humor as well as aesthetics. Immensely diverse and super creatively detailed. A must have for any Simpsons fan.

Funny, but oh boy is it dark. I can only take this book's cynicism in small doses.
