mad_books_'s review against another edition
1.0
R*ping children isn’t funny. There was no punchline, no moral of the story, no call for introspection. Just child r*pe. And if the intent of the book was to “catch a glimpse of what hurts so we can heal it,” like it said it was in the intro, that is most certainly not how you do it. Absolutely tasteless.
Had the book not had r*pe in it, it probably would’ve gotten around three stars. There was some macabre humor, some interesting life lessons, and a few emotion-unblockers. However, half the comics reuse the same car crash ending which was a bit lazy, and I found a lot of the comics to be fake deep and trying too hard. Not for me, but maybe for an edgy 15 year old. In one word; neckbeardy.

I love things that make you laugh at things you don't want to laugh at, and Cyanide and Happiness's comics basically are created to do just that. Then they made the Depressing Comic Book. I had to get it, that is just my humor. I was not disappointed. Definitely some strips aren't as good as the others, and some strips are a little more serious than the others (after all it isn't called "Funny Depressing Comic Book"). Some people might say I'm a horrible person for laughing at these comic strips. That's okay, I'll just laugh at them too. Life's too short, laugh and have a good time while you can. If you have a dark side to your humor as well, I HIGHLY recommend this book. If you are easily offended, then you will not enjoy this book at all, but please see it as entertainment for a fixed audience and don't bash on it or tell other people it's wrong. I am a huge fan of Cyanide and Happiness and look forward to all future releases.
