Callahan took gen-X guy humor to his personal demons, applying black humor to mental illness, disability, addiction, etc. In my youth, I found this collection, at least, humorous, despite tackyness and 1980s boy humor (including misogynist and homophobic tendencies). I've discarded it because It is now irritatingly juvenile etc.

See my review of “Digesting the Child Within.” This book does not repeat any of Callahan’s cartoons from that book, including the 25-page autobiographical section. However, the diversity and quality of material is similar and the comments I made on the humor, artistic presentation, and insights provided by Callahan’s cartoons apply equally to the work in this book.
