Man, I Hate Cursive
Man, I Hate Cursive: Cartoons for People and Advanced Bears | Jim Benton
14 posts | 7 read | 24 to read
Jim Benton's first cartoon collection was nominated for an Eisner. This new volume collects more of Jim's most popular strips from Reddit, shining a light on talking animals, relationships, fart jokes, and death. From whimsical to cutting, from gross to poignant, Benton's grasp of the form is on full and hilarious display.

It‘s a hoopla #graphicnovel kind of weekend.
Jim Benton, author of the Dear Dumb Diary series my girls enjoyed, dedicated Man I Hate Cursive to the man “who used to pull my crumpled up drawings out of the trash when I was a kid.” Guessing that‘s his dad. I like that #dedication.

I was never any good at #cursive. I lived in England until the age of 9, and started attending American public school the year after they taught cursive. I spent most of 4th grade frustrated with it, and consistently getting Bs in the subject (horror!). I was homeschooled after that, and my mom didn't make me use it past 6th grade. My cursive now looks like a 4th grader's. 😂 These covers are a big improvement on my cursive. #fallintobooks

My mother has beautiful cursive writing I do not! I only have 3 books for the #cursive prompt for #fallintobooks which is fitting :)

This is a fun and funny book that would make a great gift. (I just wish the author had chosen a more representative title and cover for his book, so maybe more potential readers would be drawn to it and pick it up.)

Lreads Also a sloth! @Mimi28 The cats don't know how good they've got it! I have one cat who whines when she wants to curl up on my lap and gets ornery when I need to get up. 7y
kspenmoll Sloth when home; wolves (?) when at work. 7y
Mimi28 @thirstyreader My 17 year old hisses at me when I have to move her. She hisses a lot though, lol she's an ornery old lady who thinks she owns the joint, and there are 4 other cats. Only one goes after her though, lol most of the time 😻😼❤️ 7y

SaraFair My high schoolers have to sit there and concentrate when "signing" their names. (Tongue out side of mouth.) Cursive was probably only taught for a week quite a few years ago... 7y

This book of standalone strips of comics has some very funny moments. Some of the cartoons I have seen before. I do with there was more of a flow to the book. Right now it just feels like everything was jammed in with no rhyme or reason. But it is still funny.
