BRILLIANTLY SARCASTIC!

110 Per Cent (I Don't think I have a cent sign character) by Top Shelf is a wonderfully sarcastic skewering of both boy bands, and their fanatical followers, hilariously, and somewhat tragically presented by Tony Consiglio. Cathy, Gerty, and Sasha are three middle-aged women obsessed with the boy ban "110 percent). They belong to a club named MOFO (Mature Older Fans Of...110 per cent) who meet monthly to discuss the bands tours, rumors, upcoming CD,s and the band's discarded food that they intend to sell on eBay. Cathy is a sheepish office worker, harassed by fellow employees. Sasha is a rather brow-beaten housewife whose husband simply cannot understand his wife's devotion to the band. Worst of the lot is Gerty, a mother who puts her affection for the band ahead of even the needs of her husband and family. When the bad is coming to town, Gerty manages to only get two tickets and her and Cathy conspire to go to the show without Sasha finding out. Yet Sasha's husband, gruff though he may be, surprises her with a pair of her own tickets. Cathy now must find a reason to NOT go with Sasha so she can go with Gerty, a plot which makes her feel quite guilty. Consiglio manages to make the women even more pathetic than the bands themselves. You can't help but pity the trio for not realizing just how sad their lives are. It's at once very humorous as well as quite sad. Top Shelf continues to deliver comics their own way. They don't stick to conventions and are only all to willing to tell these slice-of-life type stories. 110 Per Cent is another gem! Reviewed by Tim Janson

110 per cent worth it

Consiglio usually does the funny stuff well, this book we see his humor, and also his storytelling prowress. These women are sad, disgusting and hilarious all rolled up into one...a must read.
