Title: NASTY HUMOR
Product review: I PICKED UP THIS BOOK SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF A SCANT FEW OF BRIAN FROUDS BOOKS STILL IN PRINT. I CAN'T HELP REGRETTING THAT A LITTLE. BRIAN FROUD IS A WONDERFUL ARTIST, AND TERRY JONES CAN BE FUNNY SOMETIMES, BUT I GET THE FEELING THIS BOOK WAS RUSHED ONTO SHELVES SIMPLY TO CAPITALIZE ON THE POPULARITY OF THE PRESSED FAIRY BOOK. IT IS LITERALLY SATURATED WITH BATHROOM HUMOR: AMONG THE CREATURES THEY INTERVIEW ARE FARTS, VOMIT, AND URINE STAINS. EVEN FROUD'S ART, WHICH IS SURE TO INTICE PEOPLE WHO WON'T EVEN READ THE TEXT, SEEMS RUSHED AND CHEAP. MANY CHARACTERS ARE SHAPELESS GLOBS, AND MANY INTERPRETATIONS OF THE SAME CHARACTERS KEEP POPPING UP. IT IS SALVAGABLE BUY SOME FUNNY IDEAS (ONE STAIN THINKS IT IS GROUCHO MARX) AND LINES ("FROUD TOOK SEVERAL BLOWS TO THE BRAIN WHICH FORTUNATELY HAD NO AFFECT" SOMETHING LIKE THAT. STILL, IT PROBABLY WON'T ENDERE ITSELF TO ANYONE BUT FROUD FANS, AND EVEN THEN IT WILL PROBABLY BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THERE LISTS.
