What Were You in a Previous Life?
Editorial Reviews
"Blender of Love" August 1997
Adam Green is one of the funniest and most cynical artists I have ever encountered. His world of abstract, angular people is a paranoid, psychotic, grim place, but funnier than heck.
His take on relationships (about 1/3 of the cartoons) is one of impending doom and unrequited obsession. In other words, pretty true to life. (I'm kidding. Sort of.)
"The Toledo Blade" December 1993
In Adam Green's strange cartoon world, people are square-headed, round-eyed figures. Always, their C-shaped mouths are open, like a half-hole on the outside edge of a slice of Swiss cheese.
What comes out of those Swiss cheese mouths can be as weird as the pictures look.
Green's cartoons are decidedly language driven. It is what he writes in word balloons or in his captions and preambles that turns a reader's mouth up in mirth, or down in disgust.
While many pages are funny, some are not-unless you're a reader who laughs at puppies torn in half. The book is not for the squeamish.
There is a touch of grotesque, a hint of erotic, sometimes a lot of mystery, and often, an uncertain smirkiness, in most Green cartoons.
Few readers, will like every page. But the funny ones are funny, even when the humor is subtle.
