I&#8217;ve been wondering what his  non-Man Man books were like, and I feel informed enough now to be able  to say: still funny. This is a mish-mash of images and concepts, not a  straight collection of random stick figures and granted, the whole thing  isn&#8217;t perfect, but it&#8217;s pretty damned good. Subjects in here include  the rude sounding countries of Europe, boring animals, bad jokes by  small children, a piece of art explained for the novice, a delightful  story found in a used book (written by hand, or just made up completely  by Gareth, it&#8217;s still delightful), boring dreams, and a tiny (literally)  history of the universe. More than enough funny here to keep even the  jaded happy, pick this up along with a few Man Man comics if you need a  laugh from something that even makes you think a little bit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/mediocralypse12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"mediocralypse12\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/mediocralypse12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old Website New Website Mediocralypse Hallelujah, it&#8217;s a Gareth Brookes that somehow ended up at the bottom of a pile of already reviewed comics!
