PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Social etiquette, animals, rules of grammar, and more are critiqued in ways ranging from the educational to the bizarre in this collection of comic strips from TheOatmeal.com. While proceeding directly from the newspaper strip tradition, these Web comics present observational humor that's a little more vulgar, a little more clever, and a little more likely to end up with the reader actually learning something than would have been printed in a nationally syndicated comic strip. The humor, like many classic comics, is based on Andy Rooneyesque shared experiences, such as "10 Reasons to Avoid Talking on the Phone," "How to Use a Semicolon (The Most Feared Punctuation on Earth)," and "How to Track, Hunt, and Kill a Unicorn." These are presented in a text-heavy style supplemented with basic, XKCD-like drawings. While the collection is erratic, some of the best strips many dealing with cats hit the universal funny bone.

Molester moon 🌚
I HATED IT WORST 12 BUCKS EVER SPENT 😡😭😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Hilarious, smart satire
You'll grin, burst with laughter, and even learn from this book of comics from the oatmeal.
The oatmeal doesn't choose between the asinine and intelligent, instead delivers both in the same frame, with precise wit. Some content is aimed at readers with some technical knowledge, but it can be enjoyed by all. I'd recommend for ages teen and up for some of the written comment content.
A great read that will have you coming back.
