Aaron Donley’s What We Once Called Out in Passing Clouds is a collection of short is a collection of humorous observations and daydreams about a wide variety of subjects, like friends, computers, Michelangelo and Bigfoot. Some of them are several sentences and even has a plot of some sort. Each quip comes with a drawing or two.
I didn't see any rhyme or reason or pattern for the collection. They seemed to be something a standup comedian would have stored somewhere. Then I saw in the author's profile that he had associations with cartoonists and professional comedy writers so the book made some sense because of that -- the author obviously had the mindset to make the collection.
The drawings were ridiculous and looked like they were made by a child, but I don't think they were made to impress anyone. Some of them were helpful in illustrating what the remark was about, but all of them seemed out of place in a book made in this century or this decade, let alone in a book published at some cost. I thought the drawings were like a joke to add to the humor of the quip; if they were they didn't succeed so much.
I have read a book like this before; most of the quips it had resorted to toilet and gallows humor as well as a lot of swearing. I don't think I reached up to 10th page before I put it down. I'm happy to find out that this book is not like that. Although some of the remarks had filthy wording, they are not that many and were at the later pages. I like the remarks about balloons in funerals and about the crimes against humanity.
To be honest, I'm not a fan of this book, but I am a fan of humor and a humorous state of mind. This collection is a good representation of that.
