READER'S COMENTS

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) Just finished your book and truly appreciate how it will save me a bundle in medical expenses. Knowing another sees life's absurdity, I can now stop seeing my shrink and lose one prescription. Thank you! 
Reader: Linda in Turlock, CA
* Linda, you'll save a fortune on electro-shock therapy and lobotomies too. It's a miracle cure. Ask your doctor if Last Word on dot com is right for you.

* U r laconic. As they say brevity is the essence of wit, which is why War and Peace is such a knee-slapper.

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  I read your book and enjoyed the crazy truths in it all!  I kept having this thought, which I would like to pass on to you: Why don't you do this live--stand-up comedy? 
Thanks for tickeling our hearts.
Reviewer: P. Daniels in Humboldt County
* sounds like a good book, i ought to read it some time.   as for the stand-up, i'm one of those who would find passing a flaming porcupine more comfortable than public speaking--but maybe.

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  When you combine superb artistic talent with a wry sense of humor you get a wonderfully dangerous combination.
Reviewer: Woooooooooody in the Florida Panhandle
* thanks for the kind word. mind if i call you woooooooooo for short? -Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  Loved your cartoon and comments, regarding the Martians selling us their bottled water, published recently on the coast to coast AM website.
Sez: Dirk Vander Ploeg,
Publisher of UFODigest.com, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
* how do you digest a ufo, anyway, dirk?  folks will have to visit your site to see what wonders  emanate from bleak, distant, otherworldly places--like canada -Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  The wife and I enjoyed it [your book] very much. It is nice to read good fresh humor that isn't a rehash of old jokes. This would be an excellent publication to read in a doctor's office. It would help to take your mind off of a forthcoming root-channel. I am sure it will be well received by those that enjoy good humor.
Reviewer: J.S. Cherry, in California
* some might gladly prefer the root channel to take their mind off of the book, i'm afraid. -Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  I laughed. I cried. I puked my wretched guts out, tears of agony streaming down my cheeks, mingling with the foul bile at my feet, until my entire being wished only for the sweet relief of death. Then I laughed some more.
Reviewer: Roger in Huntington Beach, CA
* tastefully understated there, reader. - Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)  I found your site from a link on wallstreet-online.de and it is very funny.
Comment by: Guntar K., Deutschland
*  vielen dank (possibly german?).  i mean thanks. - Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes)   Read your book online and really enjoyed it.  I was happy to make a small contribution to the Tip Jar.  Thank you.
Reviewer: Charles S., Tampa Bay, FL.
*  no, thank *you*, charles.  we appreciate your kindness. -Editor

THE ART BELL "GLUE" GRAPHIC:

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) Great work on rendering Art's glue incident.  The mental image most vivid from that episode is a shred of his lip sitting in an ashtray.  How weird!

I saw the excepts from you book; you're hilarious!  What computing platform do you use for your illustrations?  And will you please excuse the discontinuity between those two sentences?
Reviewer: Joe C.
* ah shucks joe, thanks.  i use corel painter, mostly.   suggested transition between paragraphs: "meanwhile, a schizophrenic in a parallel universe uttered..." - Editor


thumbdown.gif (422 bytes) Well, I'd certainly not wish to criticize a fellow human cynic but Art didn't actaully glue his lips together.  He got glue on his finger and TOUCHED his lip which then INSTANTLY glued the aforementioned finger to the lip and the end of the break was coming up and of course he needed to speak. So he RIPPED the finger loose (with not a little bit of pain) taking portions of lip with it, and spoke telling us all so we could have a great laugh at his expense.

And I did enjoy the laugh.

However, you're a far better artist than I.
Reviewer: Darrell
Check my blog at http://norcalmdw.blogspot.com/ and for Gods sake smile dammit.
*  finger point taken, darrell, and we don't mind readers giving the site a little lip. -Editor


thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) Just a note to say that I loved the pic you did of Art Bell.
Reviewer: Cynthia H.
*  thanks, made (or maidened) my day. -Editor

MORE REVIEWS:

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) Clever insights into humanity's insanities. This book is laugh out loud funny, but it also makes you think. Recommended!
Reviewer: Bob, Solvang, CA

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) The Last Word was really entertaining.  I must have looked pretty strange, just sitting there staring into this book with a huge smile on my face the whole time.   Okay, now where's my sequel?
Reviewer: Hugh Morose, Irvine, CA
* staring into the book is fine, but you'll find it even funnier if you turn the page occasionally. -Editor

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) Funny, Funny, Funny,
Uncontrollable chuckles, chortles and spontaneous guffaws await the fortunate reader of this book. Mr. Sheppard has a keen sense for  the paradoxes, ironies and contradictions of life as we know it. Do not operate heavy machinery while reading this book, tears of laughter will impair your vision.
Reviewer: A reader from Colbert, WA United States

thumbsup.gif (435 bytes) My vote is in,
I voted for this one because it had a nice beat, it was easy to dance to and my cousin is in the band.... but really this book is a hoot!
Reviewer: A reader from United States
* clearly an inbred relation of the author's. -Editor
