A Rotten.com Staff Favorite: HAW! contains 96 pages of blackly humorous gag cartoons, which Brunetti describes as “each one less morally excusable than the next.” The book includes over 90 pages of one-panel gags certain to ostracize anyone from their co-workers when hung in an office cubicle. HAW! is not for the young or weak of heart, but for those who relish the kind of dirty jokes and off-color remarks usually only whispered by the water cooler or forwarded via email. "[Brunetti is] a darkly funny, uncompromisingly nihilistic cartoonist." -- The Chicago Reader "So caustic its impossible to ignore. Brunetti is amazingly ambitious, both in his misanthropy and his literacy." -- Spin "Ivan Brunetti specializes in an idiom that appears to be merely obsessed with scatology and self-deprecation, but which reveals, in a backhanded way, the artist's great sensitivity and intellect. Brunetti works in an eclectic and organic style, switching from Hello Kitty-like graphics to extreme realism." -- Fantagraphics |
