*I received this book from NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing in return for a fair review.*
My first book by this author. A book about business, a cat; specifically a business cat and the humor inherent in such a concept.
hehe - like, for example, a cat sitting calmly in his seat at his desk looking around, up, down, around, ten calmly reaching over and pushing a coffee cup off his desk. Why? Because he is a cat.
Or leaving a dead bird for an underling. Then calmly stating 'you've earned it.'
Or rubbing against the legs of a potential business partner - 'turning on the charm'.
Or sitting on the floor in the bathroom . . . right, I need to stop babbling like this.
A mostly funny book, though I personally might have enjoyed it better if it had actually been a cat instead of a human with a cat head in place of a human head. Plus, the guy's 'cat' is a cat with a human head - quite frankly that was super disturbing.
Some of the jokes wer quite hilarious, some were funny, some where meh. Depends on how they hit you at the time, of course - for whatever reason, the liter box in the dinning room that the cat headed person showed to his human guest - the expression on her face, and the expression on the face of her husband who was sitting at the table eating with her right behind him - struck me as hilarious at the time.
And some of the jokes were confusing. Like the cat sitting in a waiting room holding a magazine titled 'Body Shame'. Confusing.
Other than the few meh and or confusing strips, this is a rather humorous great book. Though I recommend reading it in smaller snippets than I did.
