Book Description: You never know what's going to happen when cats start talking, but the funny felines in this book are sure to make you laugh! From their frisky love lives to their ponderings on their nine lives, cartoonist Leigh Rubin brings to life the day-to-day antics of cats and kittens in over 120 cartoons in this full-color book!
Worst...comic...ever Rubes, in short, has the same style as Gary Larson's legendary "Far Side" comics, except for one fatal flaw: rubes isn't funny. Each panel is like an iron stake being driven into my brain. After reading the entire book, I chuckled maybe once. The comics are based on the corniest of jokes, but their not even jokes really. They're just awful puns. Here, let me make up a Rubes cartoon. The caption is "Cat got your tongue?" and the picture is literally of a guy with a cat holding on to his tongue. Hopefully Leigh Rubin won't sue me, because he probably came up with that one already. Don't buy this book, don't look at the book, don't even mention this book, because mentioning it makes it slightly useful, which this book is not.
Funny! Funny! Funny! I got The Wild Life of Cats as soon as it came out! It's great! I also bought several copies for my friends and they love it! The humor is really right-on target and anbody who's the least bit familiar with cats - or ever even seen a cat - will recognize and apprecite the cartoons! All of the cartoons are in color, which is very nice. My kids love it and my cats even recognize themselves!
Pure hilarity and genius!!! I read The Wild Life of Cats and I can't get over how funny it is. Leigh Rubin is a comic genius and that comes across loud and clear in this book!! This is a must read if you love cats and if you love humor. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
fabulous feline funnies ... I love all of the Rubes cartoons and books but this one is my favorite so far! Not only is it hilarious, but the color is amazing. This is a great addition to my collection and a perfect gift for any cat-crazy human!
Hilarious feline antics!!! I found "The Wild Life of Cats" to be hilarious and I highly recommend it. You don't have to be a cat lover to enjoy this all color cartoon book. But if you are a cat lover (like me!) this marvelous collection will make you laugh page after page. Rubes knows how to capture humorous insights of animals like no other cartoonist. Any one in his series of Wild Life books (Cows, Dogs, Farm Animals, and Pets) would make an excellent present for family and friends... if they enjoy a good laugh!
