Pretty Serious Funny Book I like Joe Sacco's work. I was expecting a little more satire in this title, but it gets pretty mean and downright paranoid in parts. The art is great, and there are one or two jaw dropping pages just dripping with detail, but the subject matter is pretty serious. Overall a great book. Just remember. Not all funny books are funny.. "Righteous satire" according to Sam Quixote. Joe Sacco is the acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist of Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and several noteworthy non-fictional comics on real world conflicts.

Some of it is so far out there as to be somewhat ridiculous and that's why I didn't give it 5-stars. If you are a fan of his work, I highly recommend this.
They’ll never put me on a stamp now.” Black & white. Bumf is a project that Sacco has been working on in between larger projects like Footnotes in Gaza, indulging his love of satire and cartooning. “They expect better things from me. This is a collection of all-new satirical short comics by Joe Sacco (Palestine, Footnotes in Gaza). In the vein of the old underground comix like ZAP or Weirdo, author Joe Sacco promises that BUMF will go where it needs to go, and do what it needs to do.” Though world-famous for his serious, journalistic books like Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and Footnotes in Gaza, Bumf promises to echo back to Sacco’s earlier days as a satirist and underground cartoonist.
