Creepy Susie: And 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children: Amazon.ca: Angus Oblong: Books

Product Description

Creepy Susie. Mary Had a Little Chainsaw. Milo's Disorder. Rosie's Crazy Mother. The Siamese Quadruplets. Emily Amputee.

Your mother never told you these stories.

She didn't want to scare you.

But Angus Oblong is not your mother.

If Edgar Allan Poe and David Lynch wrote a book, it might be as warped, wicked, and perversely funny as this treasury of twisted tales from childhood's Twilight Zone. So don't be alarmed if you find yourself screaming . . . with laughter . . . until the day you die. Which may be very soon . . .

This review is from: Creepy Susie: and 13 other tragic tales for troubled children. (Paperback)

This book is quite cute. I thought it would be a little more ''weird'' but I enjoyed the simple and cute dark humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars how could you not love this?, July 8 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Creepy Susie: And 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children (Hardcover)

i ordered the book directly from angus himself and maybe the personalization he did for me has won me over but i think he is hilarious. the oblongs was genius and this book just furthers that hilarity. these stories are short and to the point. his style is like no other and the endings will always get you. angus also said i was his 14th favourite fan...so i'm sold. ha!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious & Twisted cartoon book for the criminally insane, July 5 2004

By

Schtinky "Schtinky" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creepy Susie: And 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children (Hardcover)

There wasn't a dry eye in the house when I passed this book around. Sure, its twisted, but the cartoons are so comical and the situations so improbable that you just have to laugh at them.

Keep in mind, this is a cartoon book for adults only, it is far too violent for children; but come on adults...it's a cartoon book. It is not a portrayal of realistic violence in our society. The world was a less violent place back when the
Road Runner constantly trashed Wile E. Coyote, and perhaps the reason I found Creepy Susie to be so funny was that it breathed life back into the funny aspect of mortality.

My favorites would have to be The Debbies (treat yourself here and use the "Look Inside" feature of Amazon to read The Debbies), Stupid Betsy, Waldo & Bean, Narcoleptic Scottie, Rosie's Crazy Mother, and Jenny, Jenny, Jenny & Babette: The Siamese Quadruplets.

Whether snipping off tiny heads, shoving marbles in your butt, collecting Poo, holding slimy things, cross dressing, shaving cats and putting yellow sticky pads on them, offing your brother, or simply cooking up your parents; you will be sure to find humor not just in the written words but also in the comical and silly artwork here in Creepy Susie.

I would give it 8 stars if I could. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Verrrrrry Funny
A kid's book not for the kiddies. One of the funniest books I've "read" in a long time. Most of the humor comes from Angus Oblong's imagry, both funny (hilarious at times) and... Read more
