Title: Good cartoons, preachy book
Product review: I enjoy one-panel gag cartoons, and I like comic strip anthologies with commentary, so I picked this book up at the library. While some of the cartoons were funny and others were interesting and thought-provoking, large portions of the commentary were devoted to promoting Mr. Piraro's own environmentalist, pro-vegetarian agenda. While I am all in favor of improving Earth's ecology (after all, this is the only planet we've got) and have no problem with vegetarianism, I do have a problem with devoting pages upon pages to explaining in graphic detail what the meat industry does and how evil people are who support the industry by eating meat. (By the way, isn't it ironic that all this is printed on paper made from dead trees?) I read the book for laughs, not depressing stuff about what a sinner I am.I'm not inclined to read any more of his books.
