Publisher's Synopsis
WHY WE LOVE IT: One of the most popular and successful webcomics, like,
ever, CYANIDE & HAPPINESS has consistently offered up a humorous look at
life-in stick figure form-and we are big fans. The experimental,
hilarious voice of CYANIDE & HAPPINESS embodies the spirit of BOOM! Box and
we jumped at the chance to collect it. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: If you are on
the Internet, you've read CYANIDE & HAPPINESS. Generating over a
million hits a week, the webcomic is one of the longest-lasting strips out
there, and everyone can relate to its hilarious slice-of-life depictions. Since
the dawn of man, stick figures have been used as an important device for
storytelling. CYANIDE & HAPPINESS has taken this language and mashed it up
with Internet culture, bringing us some of the best satire and dark comedy out
there. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: PUNCHING ZOO includes a buttload of our favorite
comics from the site, 30 brand-new, too-hot-for-the-Internet comics, "The
Hot Date" (a choose-your-own-adventure where you decide the story), and a
nice forward by Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of reddit.
