OK. I admit it. I read it. It was reasonably humorous, but some of the references baffled me... probably topical for the time which was 1973 and 1978. I no longer remember what they were laughing at.

Warning: The Wizard of Id is married to a woman he considers ugly and there are many jokes about her being so. If that sort of joking causes you to wet your panties then skip this book. Rest assured that I did not laugh at these sort of jokes. They were mildly amusing.

I might read this book again, but I doubt it.

The King of ID - his humor ....know a few people like that! Great relaxing read...The comic part also very well executed. Would love more Wizard of Id comics.

Perfect toilet reading, though that may be too much information.

Meh. There are a number of Wizard of Id comics that I like, I didn't find very many in this book. Not particularly funny, not particularly insightful.
