IF MY DOGS WERE A PAIR OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN by The Oatmeal


Written by The Oatmeal (aka Matthew Inman), IF MY DOGS WERE A PAIR OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN is a collection of comics that does just that: presenting a variety of situations that happen all the time with his dogs, but the situations become completely absurd and hilarious if the dogs were middle-aged men instead. While I enjoyed IF MY DOGS WERE A PAIR OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN, it isn't a book for everyone. While the humor is in the same vein of many of The Oatmeal comics, it isn't quite as violent, biting, or dark. At the same time, the humor is on such an absurd level, that not everyone can appreciate it.

Interesting, I just read a comic called Manfried the Man where a cat had a middle aged man as a pet. It sounds like the author of Manfried wrapped more of a plot around her gags than the Oatmeal did though.
