Quick Review: Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Brain!

Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Brain!: Cartoonist Ignores Helpful Advice
by Scott Adams
Penguin, $24.95

Dilbert creator Scott Adams' latest book of prose is an example of a recent publishing trend: the blog book, in which a writer keeps a daily-ish blog, the collects the best entries and assembles them into a collection printed on dead trees. As former blog entries, all of the chapters are short, which makes this book perfect for bathroom reading. That's a not a slam on the book, just an observation of what type of book it is.

A few of the pieces relate to creation of the Dilbert strip--mostly encounters with censors--but most of the book is filled with Adams' observations of his daily life or world events. Adams can be a funny writer, so if you're a fan of Dilbert you'll probably find many chuckles inside. Sometimes though he gets a bit pedantic, and his occasional anti-religion swipes seem a bit unthinking. Still, overall a pleasant way to pass the time.

Rating: 3 (of 5)

Making Rain Online

Way back in 2004, one of the very first comics I reviewed on YACB was Making Rain, a graphic novella by Ursula Murray Husted. I gave it 4.5 stars and named it one of the Best of 2004. At the time I stated that the only drawback to Making Rain was its relatively high price. But now Husted has put Making Rain up online, for free! That's a price that cannot be beat. So if you haven't read it yet, go and give it a try.
