Not my type of humour, this is a satirical and dark comic (although very colourful!).
A fast read, very original.

This was an interesting collection of webcomics. They were often hilarious although there was the occasional strip that was a definite miss on the humor radar either because I didn't understand the reference or they were kind of insensitive and too morbid for my tastes.

I liked that each comic was standalone and that you could flip through the pages and still enjoy the book regardless of the order you read it in. Additionally, I liked McCoy's artistic style- it was fun and creative how he portrayed certain characters and events.

This book seemed geared more towards an older audience although as there were some obscene jokes made sprinkled in with the PG-rated material.

Overall this was a fun read and I loved the sarcasm.

First of all, I've always loved the Safely Endangered comics, ever since the first comic on Webtoons, so I'm already a fan. I really enjoyed this collection with some familiar and some new material. Each comic is humorous, from puns to just good ole' dark humor with plenty of pop culture and relatable references. Some examples are "Lady, food is my companion." "What does a turtle need money for?" "Honey if you were a fruit, you'd be a fine-apple." "Dog Wizard" and more!
I loved it all, actually laughing out loud several times. It's the kind of book that I could flip to any page, show a friend and we'd both giggle at a clever little comic. Warning for some language, although it's cute, it's not aimed at kids, folks.


My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and the author, Chris McCoy for giving me the opportunity to read a digital copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This collection was hilarious. Some of these were so dumb they were hilarious. Some were so disturbing they were hilarious.

I mean, I didn’t think <i>every</i> comic was hilarious - but they had me laughing pretty good. And when I’m literally laughing out loud, I think that’s the hallmark of a pretty good comic book. The ones that were hilarious definitely carried the ones that weren’t so much.

This collection of little strips was hit and miss for me. Some were amusing (though not hilarious), and others either fell flat or were on topics that I know nothing about so I have no clue whether they may, in fact, be funny.

This is the kind of book that I would have classified as a "bathroom book" before the days when everyone started taking their devices into the loo. Nothing too deep here, but a small bit of decent enough entertainment to keep you occupied for short periods of time.

I'm sure this will be popular with McCoy's fan base but it didn't do all that much for me. 2.5 stars rounded up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with a DRC of this book.

As far as graphic novels go, this is normally just a four panel. Sometimes more sometimes less. With themes ranging from adult to more juvenile.

All in all, it was a fast read. A good break from another book I'm currently reading that just boring me to death. I would recommend it for ages 16 and up as nothing is too dirty or sexual.

I always know of the author's webtoon work, it's really nice as well so after you read this I suggest you Google it so you can check out their other work.

I gave it four stars because while I found everything nice nothing really made me laugh. But alas, it's hard to make me laugh I suppose.

This was such a hilarious collection of comics. I actually really laughed out loud while reading them. It was such a refreshing read. I’m definitely going to be following this author more closely in the future.

It's a super cute collection of slightly passive aggressive drawings. I've chuckled throughout the whole book. Truly adorable and perfectly fit in my humour. Would love to have it on my bookshelf.

Some of these comics were very funny, others were mildly amusing and some were just "meh". I would only recommend buying the book to people who are already fans of the webcomic.

The illustrations are very basic and cartoony but it works for book. Some of the the cartoon strips jokes I did not understand but overall there is a great variety of jokes. I found myself laughing out loud more one once. This is definitely not a book for younger children but teens and adults would enjoy the humor.

Note: review will be published March 16th on my blog

Stars: ✦✦✦✦✧
Therefore I'll tell 4.0 things I liked about the book and 1.0 thing I didn't like, as usual.

+1 | The idea is great, and I can see why the webcomic is so popular
+1 | The humor was definitely entertaining
+1 | The drawings perfectly fitted the context
+1 | I enjoyed the randomness of it. From references to games and shows to animals and natural phenomena, it covered a lot
-1 | Maybe it was the randomness, or the short page-sized comic strips, but I felt like it ended abruptly

Hilarious! Eclectic collection of joke comics involving animals, mutants, the universe, Pokémon, robots, and The Lion King.

Well hello, I'm very pleasantly surprised here! Sometimes I have a little problem with these comic strips which were first published online and then in a book version. Because I see so many of them online, the book becomes unnecessary with nothing new.

But, I do not know if it's because I did not follow Safely Endangered that closely, I can say that I was only familiar with two or three drawings from this comics!

And I thoroughly enjoyed the rest! I laughed at the most horrible things and giggled at the cutest things ever! I love the land octopus! That's such a clever idea!

I loved the pacing of this comic where it did not seem like the strips were too much on one note. It had a great flow, lots of different topics.

I can already say that I will be coming back to this comics.

This is damn fine collection of short comic or you could say web comics. It is relatable, crazy, filled with dark humor and at least one comic that is related to coffee.
Overall it is great and it is type of thing for collectors and just a funny gift for your friends,but definitely not for your mother. (just kidding)

I have followed Safely Endangered on Facebook and Instagram for a long time now. As my first book and review on Netgalley I'm thrilled! What's not to love with safely endangered?! You have wit and snark and really cute to the eye comics. I would recommend this book as a coffee table or lunch read to some of my friends. Others may not follow the humor as well.

80% funny, 20% weird. This is the best way I can describe this book. Some of the comic strips will make you laugh out loud whereas others you'll be thinking really? Did they just go there? Still a solid 4 star read.

I'm a big fan of Safely Endangered Comics, been following it on the internet by the WebToon site and it's instagram for a long while, so to see it in a book is just a very nice surprise!

With nice comics, humor, this is a nice read for those days where you just want to wind up and enjoy some comics, sitting on the sofa or bed or whenever you feel confortable and just. Relax. Which is totally what I did in my off day. It's colorful, is fun and it's a easy read!

I would like to thank Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for the chance of reading this ARC!

I was not familiar with Chris McCoy's work, so these brilliant cartoons were a pleasant surprise. A great sense of humour, clever puns and popular culture references- I really enjoyed the book with its simple but hilaroius style.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

This collection of comics includes some of the greatest hits from McCoy's webcomic of the same name, alongside comics that are exclusive to this collection. As some reviewers have already voiced, the humor isn't for everyone. Count me out of this group. These comics are witty, twisted, a little dark, but unfailingly hilarious. McCoy is a master of his medium and his debut collection is not to be missed.

Safely Endangered is full of hilarious comics. I usually keep seeing them from my friends and on some pages on Instagram. When I saw it on Netgalley, I jumped in!

I really enjoyed the book. It was easy to read while working. I just read a few pages and went back to work. I especially loved the sarcastic ones. The illustrations are full of surprises and plot twists. Definitely recommend.
