[.ca] Creepy Susie: and 13 other tragic tales for troubled ... (ISBN 0345433009)

Hilarious & Twisted cartoon book for the criminally insane:
There wasn't a dry eye in the house when I passed this book around. Sure, its twisted, but the cartoons are so comical and the situations so improbable that you just have to laugh at them. Keep in mind, this is a cartoon book for adults only, it is far too violent for children; but come on adults...it's a cartoon book. It is not a portrayal of realistic violence in our society. The world was a less violent place back when the Road Runner constantly trashed Wile E. Coyote, and perhaps the reason I found Creepy Susie to be so funny was that it breathed life back into the funny aspect of mortality. My favorites would have to be The Debbies (treat yourself here and use the "Look Inside" feature of Amazon to read The Debbies), Stupid Betsy, Waldo & Bean, Narcoleptic Scottie, Rosie's Crazy Mother, and Jenny, Jenny, Jenny & Babette: The Siamese Quadruplets. Whether snipping off tiny heads, shoving marbles in your butt, collecting Poo, holding slimy things, cross dressing, shaving cats and putting yellow sticky pads on them, offing your brother, or simply cooking up your parents; you will be sure to find humor not just in the written words but also in the comical and silly artwork here in Creepy Susie. I would give it 8 stars if I could. Enjoy!

Verrrrrry Funny:
A kid's book not for the kiddies. One of the funniest books I've "read" in a long time. Most of the humor comes from Angus Oblong's imagry, both funny (hilarious at times) and disturbing...in a funny way. Adults with a slightly twisted sense of humor such as my own will find this book amusing and refreshing. If the cartoon "The Oblongs" still is available in your area, I highly recommend that as well.

Not worth the price of admission.:
Simply stated, this book is not worth the money I spent. I got it in pristine condition and put it on my headboard until I had more time to read it. I then decided to just check out a few pages and see what was waiting for me. Twenty minutes later I had finished the book. Talk about an anti-climax. Sure, there was plenty of macabre humor via mediocre illustrations and lame word-usage, but overall I felt ripped off. If I ever read this again (note that jokes are never as funny the second time around), that will give me 40 minutes of entertainment for 12 bucks plus shipping. I could rent three DVDs, or go see "The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King" for a third time. When all is said and done, this book will be relegated to the bathroom, near the toilet, for when any guests need to spend some quality time in there.

how could you not love this?:
i ordered the book directly from angus himself and maybe the personalization he did for me has won me over but i think he is hilarious. the oblongs was genius and this book just furthers that hilarity. these stories are short and to the point. his style is like no other and the endings will always get you. angus also said i was his 14th favourite fan...so i'm sold. ha! xoxo

Dark Humor is Funny:
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I found it at my local Hot Topic and I got it for my brithday, and at first my dad didn't want me to have it cuz it was too dark! Well besides that, this is a funny book and it has become one of my favorites. My favorite stories are the first two, Matchstick Boy in Love and Robot Boy, just because the endings are hilarious. But yes, this is definately not a book you can read to a kid as they're going to sleep. I'm a big fan of Burton's work, and once again, he get five stars out of me!
