oh no edition by Alex Norris Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
- Being human – self-aware, cognizant of your own mortality, sentient, capable of feeling pain, sorrow, and embarrassment (etc.) – can really suck sometimes. (Most times.) Luckily there are little moments of joy, like Alex Norris’s webcomic Webcomic Name, featuring the delightfully non-gendered little pink blob of oh nos. Pinky wields the catchphrase “oh no†(and self-referential panels about the running gag) like a … sword? Baseball bat? Pillow over the face? Blanket fort with which to deflect the outside world? I’m not exactly sure, but the result is at once comically entertaining and morbidly depressing.
Norris tackles disappointments both small (stepping on a friend’s shoe; making accidental eye contact on the bus; cooking fails) and large (poor self-esteem; environmental degradation; the powerlessness on the individual in the face of megacorporations; death), all met with the same refrain oh no. It’s absurd, it’s portentous, it’s relevant and relatable AF – for better or worse. Mostly worse.
Bonus points for the anti-zoo strip. Truer panels have never been scribbled. - One if the other reviewers said they didn’t know who the audience is for this book. Answer? Me. It is definitely me.
If you find yourself laughing at life’s little disappointments and absurdities, this book may speak to you. It’s another sort of “this is fine.†Life is hard, and sometimes you can only choose to either laugh or cry. The deadpan refrain of “oh no,†for whatever reason, makes me do the former. - A review in three panels
1) "I'm going to leave a review."
2) Reads reviews that don't get it.
3) "oh no" - I loved it! I love the comic online, and I’m happy to have a book I can share with people IRL and to be supporting the artist.
- This is an excellent compilation of hilarious oh no jokes. I am still laughing even when I know what the punchline will be (which is what makes it so great and genius). The jokes are funny because they are derived from experiences that we all have (Have you been a victim of personal space invasion? Do you find it difficult to stay focused on tasks? Are you a regular Human Being experiencing the trials and tribulations of LIFE?!? Then this book is for you.) Hilarious and cute with little details that make it even better. I will buy every Oh No compilation that follows this one. Also print quality and binding are excellent.

Me Oh no - For those unfamiliar, yes this is a strip that ends with the same punchline every time! Topics run from the every day to current affairs to the existential, together with the blob drawing style it is truly one of the most elegant, fun and humorous comics I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Though to caution the uninitiated, the humor runs from outright funny to the "aww this is sad and relatable, and thus funny." I have been following this comic in its web comic form and I am so happy to see it finally as a book. (Excellent job playing with the book format and the comic strip format, btw!) Old favourite strips are featured along with lots of new material mixed in, so even fans who have read everything from the web comic will have much to enjoy!
Also, as I am writing this it is ranked #1 for New Releases in Computers & Internet Humor but has a few negative reviews from people who got advanced copies but don't seem to be the right audience for this book. I wonder if these readers made it to Page 80... ;) - Alex Norris’ webcomic, Webcomic Name, collected in paperback form, oh yes!
These little slice of life vignettes are relatable to almost everyone.
Norris uses the mundanity of everyday existence to show the depth and humor of life, summing most interactions into two simple words.
