Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants is the second variety comic collection and fourth book from the comedic mastermind behind TheOatmeal.com, Matthew Inman. Classics from the website, including “Dear Sriracha Rooster Sauce,” “What It Means When You Say Literally,” and “What We Should Have Been Taught in Our Senior Year of High School,” are featured alongside never-before-seen works of epic hilarity that will delight veteran and newbie Oatmeal fans alike.

Matthew Inman’s first collection of The Oatmeal.comspent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold 200,000 copies. This pivotal and influential comic collection titled 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth introduced Samurai sword-wielding kittens and informed us on how to tell if a velociraptor is having pre-marital sex. Matthew's cat-themed collection How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You is a #1 New York Times bestseller with more than half a million copies in print. Now with Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants, Inman offers a delicious, tantalizing follow-up featuring all new material that has been posted on the site since the publication of the first book plus never-before-seen comics that have not appeared anywhere. As with every Oatmeal collection, there is a pull-out poster at the back of the book.

In this second collection of over 50 comics, you'll be treated to the hilarity of "The Crap We Put Up with Getting On and Off an Airplane," "Why Captain Higgins Is My Favorite Parasitic Flatworm," "This Is How I Feel about Buying Apps," "6 Things You Really Don't Need to Take a Photo of," and much more. Along with lambasting the latest culture crazes, Inman serves up recurrent themes such as foodstuffs, holidays, e-mail, as well as technological, news-of-the-day, and his snarky yet informative comics on grammar and usage. Online and in print, The Oatmealdelivers brilliant, irreverent comic hilarity.

Product description

Review

"The utter relevance and poignancy of these often deceptively anecdotal funnies make Inman a Gary Larson for the iPad generation." (Publishers Weekly)

Praise for How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You:

“Matt is the first native stand-up comic of the Internet. This book, and all his work, shows just how perfectly he nails the pulse of the Web dwellers like me. While this book is printed on paper, it oozes what's great about the weird, quirky, but genuinely awesomeness of the Web — and Matt Inman.”

(Ben Huh, CEO of ICanHasCheezburger.com)

"If Inman isn't a king of the Internet, he's certainly among its royalty. The Oatmeal is one of the most popular humor sites on the web." (Todd Leopold, CNN)

"In 2009, Inman put his hand to the page, and the world hasn't stopped laughing since." (Nick Carbone, Time Magazine)

"Dangerously funny." (TODAY.com)

Funny book to read over many times

Reviewed in Canada on January 12, 2016

Hilarious book, great for a rainy day or a road trip. Has plenty of comics not posted online so that it's not just a printed out version of the website. Great as a gift like the Calvin & Hobbes collections by Bill Watterson, as it has value to be read again and again

I mean this guy is funny and his comics are always a delight. This book is his third collection of comics and he keeps on delivering with exclusives not available on the web and a beautifully presented book.

Don't really like this book,
too much unrelated content that was not about the bear at all.
and the extra last page was like totally rubbish to me.

Just some silly fun book, nothing special.

J'ai acheté ce livre en soutien à son auteur, dont j'adore le blog. Et concrètement, je n'ai pas été déçu : la même cohérence graphique, le même humour, les mêmes situations ancrées dans la vie quotidienne... c'est vraiment un excellent livre que je recommande à tout le mode (du moins les anglophones)

Funny as Hell - Like Inman's Previous Books

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you are not familiar with previous works of Matthew Inman (aka, TheOatmeal.com), you will like this collection of snarky comics just as much as fans: this is his best book yet. Those previous books were NY Times bestsellers for good reason: painfully-funny attacks on the absurdities of modern life by the budding Matt Groening of his generation (long before he created The Simpsons, I loved Groening's 'Life is Hell' comics: funny and inventive, as Inman is today).

One previous book, How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You actually became the Times #1 Bestseller. This is a seriously funny, talented young guy - who only started creating these comics on his Oatmeal website in 2009. Other books - highly recommended - are 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth (And Other Useful Guides) , his first collection, and My Dog: The Paradox: A Lovable Discourse about Man's Best Friend , a funny and poignant homage to dogs.

This, his second collection of comics (others were books with a single theme), contains a barrage of funny attacks on the latest culture fads, our digital lives, and more. If you are unfamiliar with Inman, the cover comic of a bear is an anomaly for his work: it looks like a traditional comic panel. Most of his comics, however, actually look like a funny poster, with professional graphics and type, and cleanly-rendered minimalist characters. In fact, all of Inman's books come with one poster-size comic folded inside the back cover. Some of the favorite comics from this collection: "What your email address says about your computer skills" (hilarious chart with @gmail, @hotmail, etc.; look away if your address is @aol), "The Crap We Put Up with Getting On and Off an Airplane", "6 Things You Really Don't Need to Take a Photo of", and "How I interpret my beverage options on an airplane" (hint: he likes ginger ale).

Excellent collection, can't wait for the next one.

------------------------------
Warning: The material is definitely for adults and is not for the easily-offended. One reviewer called it 'profane' and offensive and though I personally like that kind of material and don't find Inman gratuitously vulgar, you should know that this is R-rated material.
