Toothpaste for Dinner

"Toothpaste for Dinner: Hipsters, Hamsters and Other Pressing Issues," by Drew
2005
A print collection of the popular webcomic, "TFD" is one of the funniest things to come from the Internet. Ever. Alternately morbid, profound, brilliant, oblique and obscure, the comic is about as simple as a comic can be while still being readable. Collapsing cliché's in the search for new veins of humor, Drew unleashes his unconscious into the mouths of lopsided stick figures who complain about work, coffee (i.e. the lack of), society at large and whatever else happens to be going on. "If I ever have kids, they will get The Existential Playset for Christmas," begins the caption to one comic. "It is composed of all their other toys, plus a shop vac, so that occasionally, one of them will get sucked into the void for no reason." While all of Drew's comics are available online for free, the book is worth owning just as a way of saying "thanks." It's also one of the funniest things published so far this century, so there's that as well. If your not on this boat already, get on it soon.
