A Stoopid Pigeon Treasury

This is the easiest sort of review to write. Why Because my opinions are completely irrelevant when this website has an enormous archive of what looks to be all the Stoopid Pigeon strips ever done. Oh, I’ll still ramble a bit about things, but if you have a job where you’re constantly looking for things to kill the long, dull hours and a boss that isn’t picky about profanity, you’re in luck. This is a collection of strips, not the four panel kind but the kind that takes up a whole page. Steven obviously influenced this a bit, and good luck finding a better strip to be influenced by than that one. It’s basically the adventures of an odd collection of characters involving a severed head, a robot, an exotic dancer with a skull for a head, an extremely cranky squirrel, a pumpkin and, of course, a pigeon. Oddly, the pigeon isn’t in most of these strips, and when he is in them he seems to be the only one with any sort of a conscience. But when you’re trying to make people laugh, who needs a conscience? Topics in here include babies as slave labor, a Diaper Club, killing frogs, drinking, random acts of violence, and the robot sleeping with everything that moves, just to name a few. Mostly pretty funny stuff, which I have to admit I wasn’t expecting based on that title alone. Sure, sometimes the jokes fell flat, other times I didn’t get the point at all, but more often than not I found myself chuckling. Of course, you have to have a pretty dark sense of humor, but that’s why you’re clicking around that website listed above, so you can find all this out for yourself. This is $4.95 and a pretty big book for that price, if you find out that you like this sort of thing…
