I never read Zvitorepec when I was little but I felt it's a must to read it. I think it's nice to read a comic for a change from other books, no matter how old you are. I need to find some interesting ones. ...more
I like Yorick more and more with each Vol. This one was again such a quick read. My eyes just flew through pages and clouds of words. And at the beginI like Yorick more and more with each Vol. This one was again such a quick read. My eyes just flew through pages and clouds of words. And at the beginning of this one..oh my, it got a little juicier …I mean I thought something like this would happen sooner, like in the first book. But it turned out to be like a therapy session. Like intervention. Ha ha, funny psychiatric stuff! And just you wait to read about some Yorick's memory from the past. Something that happened to him when he was a kid, it's quite shocking. ...more

We obThis story made me wondering about the role of men on this planet, in our lives… Feminists in this book think we women don't need them. Really?? We obviously do need them, not just because of the reproduction but also because of love, friendship and yes, now women can do almost anything that men can do, but let's be honest, not a lot of women have jobs with hard physical work, some do and I admire them. The statistics in Vol. 2 shocked me. It basically shows this really is a men's world. The richest people are normally men, female pilots almost don't exist, but hey, criminals are also more often men than women =). Well, according to this statistic. I am not sure what is real or not, plus this book was written in 2003, but yes, men are still more powerful. Personally, I don't mind the traditional rolls. I think both genders have their specific rolls. I don't mind the traditional man, who is strong, wants to shelter his girlfriend or wife and take care of her (I am not talking about money). And I don't mind a traditional woman, who is gentle, very feminine, classy and also wants to take care of her man. But please don't take this the wrong way. I am aware of the fact that not every man is tough and looks like a traditional man and now every woman, girl looks like a typical woman..and sometimes they feel bad because of it. And of course some don't like and love the opposite sex but the same one. I am not a homophobe. I don't judge people on something so stupid. All I want is for everyone to be happy, to love freely. I judge people based on a fact if I see myself hanging out with them. Do you know what I mean? All I want to know is if I could enjoy having a conversation with this person. Would they make me feel happy? Motivate me? Accept me and the things that make me happy? These are the things I'm interested in. Not if this person is gay..or black or whatever. These type of things are so unnecessary to me and I find people who hate people because of that, very ignorant. The only thing that does bother me is, that I feel women became too tough. Maybe because we had to fight against men to have the same rights as they have. I don't know. I just think women in general lost their innocent, gentle, caring, sweet site. Just my view.
So anyway, I am sorry for going on and on about something not so related to this book but this book just calls for these kind of discussions, so this were my two cents =).
Over all, I wandered off a little bit, when reading Vol.3. I felt that some pages were unnecessary, but this is still one cool graphic novel and I will read all 10 Vol.
If you want to read this graphic novel, then you probably already read the first book of this series. You haven't??! What the hell are you doing here If you want to read this graphic novel, then you probably already read the first book of this series. You haven't??! What the hell are you doing here then, read the first one! This one was interesting just as the first one. And can I just say how much I like the illustrations (is this the right expression for comics?) The penciller, colorist and inker are really talented…and the writer also, of course. I was surprised when I saw how the relationship between Yorick and Hero changed. I was feeling a little bit sad about it. Over all, I liked everything that happened in Marrisville. A really nice touch were the original sketches at the end of the book, funny how they changed 355. ...more

Yorick is a young guy, wondering where is his place on this planet. He can't find a job, he loves magic and his girlfriend, Beth. She travelled to Australia, to be all smart and to gain some experiences in anthropology, so now Yorick is all alone, feeling like a loser, because he's not doing anything remotely as important as she and the rest of his friends do. He doesn't even want to go out of his apartment anymore. And just as he wants to ask Beth something important, everything changes. Something crazy happens, I won't write too much about it, so I don't ruin your joy of reading it (but you probably know already). It's a funny story and it kept me interested. It's a mixture of feminists, jokes about republicans, some overused jokes, hey, there's even a Macgyver joke in it! I missed these, since Chuck Norris is so popular to make fun of these days. I can't wait to finish reading other comics of this series....more
