Just Act Normal: A Pie Comics Collection

By John McNamee

Pie Comics began as a college comic strip way back in the mid ’00s, when flip phones roamed the earth. But after a shoulder injury forced cartoonist John McNamee to simplify his drawing style and improvise comics, Pie Comics evolved into the beloved strip it is today! This third collection from The Onion and the New Yorker contributor features his most absurdly relatable comics on our futile attempts to look “normal,” and why that’s hilarious.

Reviews for Just Act Normal

[villemezbrown · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Stupid, clever, brutal, and most of all hilarious. McNamee has fun with familiar figures from fairy tales, comic books and the Bible. And caused me much embarrassment, as I failed in suppressing my guffaws in the break room at work.

This collection of comics, usually literature related, was just not for me. It’s not my type of humor. There were a few strips that put a smile on my face, but most, not so much. My favorite strips are probably Humpty Dumpty and the Mirror on the Wall.
