In this collection of the wildly popular Web comic "Goats"--a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" for the Internet Age--two lowly techies are tasked with saving the universe from utter destruction.
Goats is a webcomic powered by caffeine, delight, madness, and a lot of monkeys with great typing skills--usually all at once. It is the first comic I recommend to those with a penchant for science fiction or the strange-but-curiously-sensible strain of logic that places Hell just off the New Jersey Turnpike. Jonathan Rosenberg is the kind of Funny Guy who appeals to almost everyone, because he touches a little of everything. If Monty Python needed to save the multiverse, their hilarious adventures might look a little like those sprung (fully formed?) from the mind of Jon Rosenberg. And let me tell you, this man can write. Goats has been happening for more than twelve years, often five days a week. That is a lot of ideas. That is a lot of zaniness to keep in (relative) order. Bottom line: I wish I lived in Rosenberg's multiverse (buy this book).
