I Made Some Brownies and They Were Pretty Good

I have all the Jim's Journal books. They're great! Sure, they aren't for everybody...(It's just a comic strip......)In any event Jim's Journal, for me, reveals the Zen moments present in everyday life. (Hint: life is lived in the details.)

There's not much middle ground with Jim's Journal. You will love this book, or you will think it is the dumbest thing you ever read. In my opinion, Jim's Journal is probably one of the funniest cartoons of all time. I own all of his first five books and don't regret buying a single one of them.

My friends and I are very addicted to the Jim's Journal books. The best way to read them is to purchase all of the books and read them in a row. It'll only take you about an hour, maybe two.Jim's Journal was not meant to have a punchline. And that's part of what makes it so funny. It's just a guy drawing little scenes out of his life. He's not documenting the historic moments, but the little silliness that we all go through. When I read "I Went to College..." I would crack up in the middle of a frame because it reminded me so much of myself in college.There are lots of cartoons out there that don't make you laugh at the last frame, like Zippy the Pinhead or Family Circus. This is one that makes you feel good, make you giggle, and somehow manages to completely engross you even though the topic is nothing.

Dikkers' collection of Jim's Journal cartoons are some of the finest comic strips written. Jim is just a regular guy. Life seems to go on all around him, but Jim usually has no response to it. Jim doesn't go out and get things, things just fall in his lap. The humor in this strip is sometimes subtle, and sometimes it's not really funny at all, but you usually learn something. In many ways, I am much like Jim. I guess that's why I relate so well to this strip
