Reviews

An astoundingly well-crafted and punishingly heartfelt depiction of mental illness and codependence, one that also manages to make you laugh uncomfortably at the horrible decisions made by the characters you're watching.-- "Vulture"

Full of ennui, crumbling mental health, self-loathing, disgust and betrayal, is a perfect distillation of this series. ... an essential release for anyone who has enjoyed Hanselmann's work before.-- "The Quietus"

Hilarious, upsetting, and thoroughly brilliant, this collection proves once and for all that there's not another living cartoonist as brazenly funny or unflinchingly weird or insightful about mental illness as Hanselmann.-- "Library Journal"

If you like your comedy black, profane and outrageous, you've probably already encountered Hanselmann's twisted tales of Meg, Mogg, Owl and Werewolf Jones or should want to soon.-- "Forbes"

It's signature Hanselmann: a tale of friends and their endlessly fucked up antics.-- "The Fader"

Megg, Mogg, and Owl is a soap opera. It's a sitcom. It's a black comedy about drug addiction. ... There's a voyeuristic quality to it--like watching a car crash. But it's also hard not to root for this out-of-control crew. I want them to win.-- "Portland Mercury"

One of the most gifted cartoonists alive.-- "The A.V. Club"

These are simultaneously some of the meanest and most tender comics you will ever read.-- "Seattle Weekly"

Though Hanselmann's obsessions may be beyond the pale for many readers, his devoted fans and those fascinated by humanity's darkest aspects will find a wealth of material here.-- "Publishers Weekly"
