Product Description
Product Description
Cleverly whimsical yet oddly informative, The Oatmeal.com is an immensely popular site full of comics, quizzes and stories. This collection presents classic favourites as well as all-new hilarity with any never-before-seen comics, such as 8 Reasons to Keep a Canadian as a Pet, 6 Reasons Man Nipples Are Awesome & 5 Reasons to Have Rabies Instead of Babies. Inman creates these quirky scenes for theoatmeal.com, which launched in July 2009 and already has more than 82 million page views. In fact, every 15 to 30 seconds, someone Google's one of theoatmeal.com's creations. Now, 60 of Inman's comic illustrations and life-bending guides are presented in full-colour inside 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides).
About the Author
Matthew Inman is a Web designer and developer from Seattle, Washington. He has been designing Web sites since the age of 13 and is a seasoned programmer, systems administrator, and online marketer. Matthew launched TheOatmeal.com in 2009.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an absolute wet-yourself-laughing book of short comics and narratives from the genius Matthew Inman, better known online as The Oatmeal.
(If until now you've only considered comics to be dodgy manga or the Beano, think again.)
Targeting daily ills and irks, the book teaches as how spades can revolutionise supermarket queues, how woman at discos look like slutty oopma loompas, and why dinosaurs should never be given crack cocaine. Mathew deserves a standing ovation for his `how to use grammar' comics alone.
Achingly funny, incredibly clever, strangely informative and REALLY nicely presented as a thick, glossy tome. It would be all birthday gift presents solved for the year, but I love it so much I don't want to share it!

It's safe to say that having stumbled across The Oatmeal website sometime last year it has provided many a chuckle. If you dig Cyanide & Happiness and iMockery then there's much to enjoy here, albeit in book form!

It's great to see all my favourite comics plus some never-before-seen extras packed into one book. The material is smooth and great to touch, if that matters. I'm lending this book to a few friends to read, and they all love it. The print is very high quality; In all, I recommend this book!

I came across the Oatmeal whilst researching the correct way to use a semi-colon. Yes, really, and spent the next six hours giggling and crackling at the comic. Read more

Many people will be familiar with the oatmeal website so there's nothing overly new in terms of a lot of the content and the style and delivery. Read more

Hilarious ans provocative
I was a long time reader of the blog and don't regret for a second buying the book. It's a cheap price but the quality of the paper and of the printing is not cheap at all! Read more

Not as good ask Abstruse Goose and XKCD
Worth a read for sure if you're into web-comics but not close to the greatness of the ones mentioned above.
