Customer Reviews

The hardcore unemployed

Grab your cof-fay, turn off sponge bob from the tube, and sit down with this book for a few minutes. What book have you recently read that combines wicked insights, nihilistic stoicism, and just plain stupidity in one reading? Keep this man on the dole so we can see more books like this one!

I laughed until I cried.

I bought this book for my boyfriend and I kept picking it up to read bits and pieces - I was hooked. Everything made me laugh, I laughed until I cried and I finally had to put the book down and well ... do work.I guarantee anyone will enjoy it.

hilarious!

If you haven't already, go to ... and check out this guy's cartoons! If that won't convince you to buy this book, nothing will. Basically, it all started with Todd and his unemployment woes, and each cartoon is absolutely hilarious. The guy is a comedic genius when it comes to capturing the essence of people in the 2000's. Reading this book and watching his cartoons are absolutely hilarious because it reminds you of yourself and of people you know. He seriously strikes a chord.Instead of needing a computer to enjoy OddTodd's unintentional wit, now we can have it in book form and read it whenever we want, wherever we want, whenever we need a good dose of laughs. He makes fun of our hectic life, and it's all the funnier knowing it's stemming from his life, and all the more genuine and honest.

I laughed my [rear] off

From beginning to end, this book is packed with the same great humor as oddtodd's movies. Whether you already have a job, are looking for a job, or don't ever want to work again, this book offers excellent ideas on how to spend a day doing so much of absolutely nothing. There were many times I had to put the book down until I stopped laughing.

Thanks Odd Todd!

Laugh out loud hysterical! A wonderfully written and brilliantly illustrated book. Like nothing I have ever read before. This guy is a true genius and a voice of his generation. Can't wait to see what happens next with "the Guy In the Blue Robe" and, more importantly, his creator, "Odd Todd." In these trying times, we all owe Odd Todd a tremendous thank you!
