Product Description
Toothpaste for Dinner offers a sarcastic but honest portrayal of modern existence. The characters, barely more than stick figures, provide a blank slate on which readers can impose their own experiences and frustrations. Everyone has a coworker who regales them with tales of weekend drunkenness, or swings by their cubicle every day with an insipid joke. We want to tell our boss that nobody cares about the antics of her craaaazy cats, or that despite his idea that hes the "office clown," everyone hates the IT guy. We never say these things aloud, but we want to. And the indignities of modern life go well beyond the office. We all know the frustration of standing in line behind someone having a much-too-personal mobile-phone conversation, or the problem of deciding whether an article of clothing is ironically hip or just plain stupid. But then theres Drew, in his internet fiefdom, saying the things we cant, pondering the confusing, annoying and just plain weird, and making us feel a bit less alone.

 One of the Best Comics Around! December 16, 2006
The author's sense of humor is very amusing. Great bathroom reader.
I think I just peed myself a little. Yep. That's pee. February 17, 2006

Did you grow up listening to indie (or at least a couple of REM songs)? Do you work a crappy office job? Tired of the weak comics that newspapers try to sell to you (except for the boondocks and pearls before swine... and i mean come on, more garfield? vintage peanuts? way to keep your finger on the pulse...)? Care more about the humor than the art? If you answered "yes" to 25% of the above questions or more, you'll love this book like hipsters like tight jeans and bad haircuts.
It's a perfect coffee table book. And, if you like to laugh while you go to the bathroom like I do you can keep it on the back of your toilet as long as you/your guy friends don't drunkenly pee that high.
I guarantee guffaws, snorts, chortles, and yes, a little bit of pee.
 Who wouldn't want a career in chemistry after this? February 1, 2006

My friend lent me a copy of this book, so I came into the whole Toothpaste For Dinner phenomenon cold. The first hint I got that something was up was when my girlfriend picked it up and was laughing hysterically in the first five minutes. This is unbelievably funny. So funny it hurts. So funny it's dangerous.

Finally, a published collection of Drew drawings!! Toothpaste for Dinner is the greatest webcomic ever written, with comedy and references spreading all horizons. I've been a huge TPFD fan for years now and some of my absolute favorites are here, including a slightly altered version of "Paper Jam."
The best thing about Drew is he knows exactly how people work and calls them out on some of the lame things we say and do just for social acceptance. For example, the one where the man complains about the bathroom smelling, and Drew replies "Yeah, it's almost like people pull their pants down in there and poop." Little things like that show the brilliant mind of Drew in action, and this book celebrates it all. It even has an introduction by the man himself. Not that anyone else would or should, but yeah.
Anything by Drew I will eat up automatically, but this book really is a great collection to take with you to keep yourself entertained wherever you go. My ONLY complaint is the lack of Robarb in the book, but the quality of drawings in here more than makes up for it. I hope this is the first of many TPFD collections, because having them in print is awesome when the internet breaks.
Best Bathroom Book EVER! January 11, 2006

I bought the Toothpaste for Dinner book not because I am a long time fan of all things Drew from "block porn" to the toothpaste for dinner website but because it is a lovely shade of aqua which matches my 1960's bathroom fixtures exactly!
Well...okay not really...I mean it does match...but seriously this is a terribly funny book and it is great to just keep laying around on your coffee table or toilet back...whatever. Perfect for a quick two minute "reading" session. Seriously though we don't have a coffee table and the pug would likely chew it if I laid it there we keep it in the bathroom. People save their poops for my house now so they can go upstairs and read the Toothpaste for Dinner book...and then come downstairs and say "hey did you see that one drawing about the amazingly funny situation? it was really funny!" And I'm like yes...believe it or not I did read the entire picture book myself.
It is definitly the funniest "comic book" I own and I reccomend it to everyone who has a bathroom!
