The Book of Bunny Suicides by Andy Riley

 

(pb; 2003: humor/cartoon book)

Review

This fifteen-minute, fast-read cartoon collection is a darkly hilarious, goreless and simply illustrated work for those of us with an appreciation of black-but-relatively-gentle wit, suggestive of horrible death but not explicit. (I’m a reader/media viewer who get ticked off at media that kills animals, even “off-camera”, to make an unnecessary plot point, but doesn’t mind a dead bunny joke.) If you share that darkly silly sensibility, then you may be a prime reader for Riley’s Book, which has a sequel Return of the Bunny Suicides.
