This was painful to get through. I was reading it for educational purposes, but the humor was so terrible, it hurt. I think there were two out of the whole thing that I thought were pretty funny. Luckily, I got it for free so I'm not at much of a loss. I wouldn't recommend this for humor or learning.

Although this book was published in 1990 it may still be useful to beginner and intermediate learners. Some strips are funny and some are not.

The humor is pretty decent. Enjoyable read for if you're bilingual or rather well versed in Spanish. I don't think it's meant for educational purposes.
