Reviews for Man, I Hate Cursive

[pomo58 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Man, I Hate Cursive by Jim Benton is a solid collection of his comics. The humor runs from a bit morbid to everyday truisms.Because Benton does not rely on one primary character or group of characters there is more room to experiment but also more hit or miss opportunities. There were some that did not resonate with me but by far there were more hits than misses. I probably liked the ones that might fall into the category of 'interesting twists on life', assuming that is even a category.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes many of the standalone comics you find scattered through many magazines (they do still do that, right?). There are not plots and no character subplots, just a collection of very good comics.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
