Goodreads Synopsis:
Pie Comics began as a college comic strip way back is the mid '00s, when flip phones roamed the earth. But it wasn't until a shoulder injury forced John to simplify his drawing style and improvise the comics instead of actually sitting down and writing them that Pie Comics became the beloved strip it is today! This collection showcases some of the funniest and most trenchant of Onion writer John McNamee's online comic strips, found at piecomic.tumblr.com.
Review:
This is a graphic novel for adult audiences - even though it looks like it could be for kids. It is full of one-twp pages comic strips about various things like fairy tales retold, pop culture, and overall culture. It is really funny and very quick to read through. A few of these comics I have seen online and it was great to see them all together as a collection. I think this would make for a great coffee table book or if you are really into sarcasm and macabre things - just a book for your overall collection.
The comics deal with death, religion, social norms and plays on the fairy tales that point out just how skewed they were/are. It is a great one to pick up and flip through.
