I love this comic. The author is so spot on with family life. The illustrations are awesome and above all makes you giggle hysterically.

Great comic book about parenting. I really enjoy Brian's comics and I follow his Facebook page. I enjoyed the comics in this book and the essays about parents. I'm not a parent myself but I can still get a chuckle out of the stories. Very funny!

You had to stumble upon Brian Gordon's art at some point if you're a) user of social media who's a parent as well b) user of social media who's connected with parents. His short comics dealing with theme of parenthood are funny and painfully true, that's why they resonate with humans so well.

Well, his humor is turned into a comicbook now with personal stories about different aspects of Brian Gordon's adventure with his kids serving as introduction to chapters.

I find reading this book on my computer screen ridiculous since it's loaded pretty slowly due to heavy DRM protection, but I guess the final printed product will be a great gift or addition to your own library if you're a lover of Gordon's work.

Recommended.

I really love Brian Gordon's cartoons. Ever since I saw them cropping up occasionally on Facebook a few years ago, I've been a huge fan. Through his cartoons about a father duck and his ducklings, Gordon touches on universal truths about parenting. And he does it in a really funny way. With swearing.

This book, 'Winging It', is packed with more excellent artwork, plus little introductory essays about different topics. As Gordon's own children are older now (the same age as my own), the topics are a little more wide-ranging than previously. Now, we have a new focus on the bickering between siblings, arguments about school and musings on how quickly the kids grow. It's like he lives in my house!

I knew I'd love this. It's very funny, totally accurate and yet also manages to capture the feeling that - however bad parenting is at times - you'd absolutely never change anything. Gordon makes you feel that you aren't alone in being driven mad by the little people you created. He also makes me feel better about my own (excessive) coffee consumption!
