Book Reviews of Brevity : A Collection of Comics by Guy and Rodd

Book Review: Wilson and Larson have a new Heir
Summary: 5 Stars

After seeing this listed in my recommendations countless times, I flipped through a copy in a store and promptly ordered it from Amazon. If you miss The Far Side or were a fan of Gahan Wilson then you will feel right at home in this collection. But unlike Larson and Wilson, this comic is penned by two creators. One loves thinking up cartoons while the other can actually draw. I don't know which of the two is more twisted but they sure work well as a team.
The cover cartoon of a game of spin-the-bottle among a bunch of cats and one dog has the wonderful feature of working on more than one level. I think it was the Camel/Dromedary Peace Talks that really snared me. Once I had read that one I was completely hooked. I was only sorry that there were only two collections currently available for order. If you like cartoons that inspire laughter and not just smiles then you need to check these guys out.

Summary of Brevity : A Collection of Comics by Guy and Rodd

Authors Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry have crashed the party, and the world of cartooning will never be the same. In fact, they are arguably the freshest, most original and clever of all cartoonists out there.

Their comic strip Brevity features a smorgasbord of nerds, animals, and sporks in unusual yet relatable situations. For example:

The five-second food-dropping rule does not apply to sewer workers. The Hypnotato dares you to look into his eyes.

The combover eagle (you have to see it to believe it.)

The angry pin-the-tail-on-the-donkeys paying a nighttime visit to the birthday boy to settle a score.

Brevity has been described as "the soul of wit." Indeed, this wily wit fused with minimalist illustration has launched its popularity into the stratosphere. Brevity will be at the top of every cartoon lover's wish list.
