Worst piece of monkey doo

Gnartoons by James the Stanton

September 29, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The cover says it all: Gnartoons by James the Stanton are going to be your favorite cartoon book or the worst piece of monkey doo-doo you have ever seen.  Anyway, so can I give this a Zero? As you can see, I am not the audience for this. Or maybe I was too subtle? So, let me sum up: This was the worst piece of monkey doo-doo (only I really did not say doo-doo) I have seen in a very long time. I have had […]

Candidly deals with… you name it

Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh

January 28, 2021 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

That cover? It really looked like there was nothing I would relate to. It would be abstract humor that I could not enjoy. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
