A collection of four-panel gag comics which at first appear to stand alone, but gradually stitch together into something more. Not only do characters such as the first sentient robot, the dog who's tired of being a good boy, the grim reaper and the slutty witch recur, but their next appearance will build on the punchline of their previous one, and occasionally they even cross over. Who knew the mania for shared universes would run so far? And it is definitely something closer to that than the usual comic strip gang structure. Also, they're very funny, or at least I thought so, certainly measured by the metric of how many you want to show the poor sod who's in the room while you're reading them. And there's even one about what to do if they don't agree! Absurdist, wry, often quite dark without being tritely edgy; very much up my street, though as ever with humour it shouldn't need saying that YMMV.

Okay, this book had the unlucky fate that I read this right after the Awkward Yeti which is a very tough competition and this book just could not compete.

I actually did not realise I knew this artist before but while reading this I realised that I knew so many of the strips which was not very good. (I stated several times before that I do prefer if these online arts to a book have more new content than what was previously posted online). Which is actually rather strange since I could not find a media where I would be following the artist.
And Honestly, I maybe chuckled once while reading this, very disappointed. This book did not seem to have a theme, something to tie the strips together. So, it was a bit content dump. While I can understand that some of the comics were not my kind of humour but sometimes I even struggled to see what was supposed to be funny there.

In the end, I was mostly skimming through since I did not want to DNF this one.

Honestly this was absolutely freaking hilarious lol The art is super cute and if you love dry humor
this is 100% for you

I definitely want to own this book and go through it whenever I'm having a bad day lol

Unfortunately, I was unable to view this book on my computer. I'm so sorry. I was really looking forward to it. Thank you for the opportunity to read it!

A quick read, and a great introduction to a funny comic.
Consistently interesting, sometimes thought provoking, I found myself telling my spouse about some of the comics that made me think about things differently.
This book is good, but I don't know that I'll re-read it... I would buy it as a gift, and then follow War and Peas on Instagram (oh wait I did that).
**I received the ebook version from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this collection of comics — they are hilarious and sneakily subversive. I had not read this web comic before but I am a fan now.

This book was a wonderful collection of jokes and funny scenes! I absolutely loved it and the writing style was great! The illustrations were amazing and it was really easy to follow!

First of all, I'm very thankful for having been able to read this as an ARC.

I read it all in one sitting. It was truly funny. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times. The short comic format made it super easy to read, and I loved the dark humour throughout it.
Completely recommended to anyone who wants to have a fun time.

This was a fun little comic book strip collection. I liked the recurring characters that appeared in this and the sexy with was most definetley a favorite. This was a fun way to pass an evening.

I loved the humor in the book!!
Overall, I enjoyed it greatly!
I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the graphics and the cute stories! Obviously some of the stories require a dark sense of humor, but if you can appreciate that then you'll love this short read!

I really liked the witch and death comics but everything else was eh. I think people who like the comic on instagram will enjoy this but I was personally not impressed with this collection.

The art is super cute though.

Unfortunately, this is nothing special. Some parts are funny, but many of the jokes that are in here, I've already seen done before in the comic form or just as a random tweet floating on the internet. The part which is nicely done are the reoccurring "storylines" and the jokes build on the previous ones. It is not the worst picture book I've ever read, but it is not the best one either.

I was reading this comic on Tapas so when I saw there is an arc I had to read their comics again.
This is full of dark humor, witches, death, doggos.
This isn't for everyone and not all will find this funny. But for all readers out there with a dark sense of humor, this is the book for you.

Sadly, this book wasn't really for me. I did really love the robot, I thought he was adorable! But the bulk of the comics weren't to my personal taste unfortunately.

Man, if being famous and writing a comic book is this easy, I could do that. I don’t see what’s special or stands out about this honestly, just generic stuff anyone would’ve made. I mean.

Some of this was super funny and some of it was kinda meh but overall it was enjoyable! I especially liked the use of recurring characters spread out through the comics. Would recommend if you have a darker/drier sense of humor.

War and Peas: Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers is a collection of webcomics produced by Jonathan Kunz and Elizabeth Pich. Originally published on their webcomic War and Peas, this collection, due out 3rd March 2020 is 160 pages and will be available in paperback format.

The art is deceptively simple. The single page comics are in 4 panel format, with many recurring characters (Death shows up quite often, for example). The humor is ever so slightly off-kilter and is surreal with elements of magical realism, nerd culture, absurdism, and irony. About half of them elicited a smile or giggle from me.

This would be a good selection for current fans of the authors' work online, or for fans of webcomic style 4 panel art in general. It's a very fast read with appealing quirky art with a modern (somewhat nihilist) aesthetic.

Three and a half stars.
