The Oatmeal (Matthew Inman)
2013
The Summary
"Dogs are funny creatures. They fear the hair dryer but not the garbage truck. They gleefully roll in the dirt (and other smelly things), yet they clean their private parts obsessively. Their lives aren't lengthy, logical, or deliberate but an explosive paradox of fur, teeth, and enthusiasm. Perhaps that's why we love them."
The Good
I probably laughed way too hard at this book. As a dog lover and owner, I could certainly relate to the weird and funny and, sometimes, gross things dogs will do. They are all these things and more--and, as Inman writes, that's precisely why we love them.
The Bad
The Oatmeal is an acquired taste. If you pick up anything he's written, you'll see what I mean.
The Ugly
Nothing really. It's a short, rather sweet comic about dogs and our love for them/their love for us, and it's a whole lot of fun to read. Inman's humor can sometimes be a bit offensive, but his comics are worth reading at least once.
