 Underground comix database Comixjoint gave "Funny Aminals" a 9/10 ranking, calling the writing "solid" and the illustrations "exceptional", adding a four-star historical bonus for "Maus".Summarizing his review, writer Steven Fox wrote ""Funny Aminals" is an uneven book, but its review score (especially the writing score) is boosted by "Maus," which also gets credit for the book's historical bonus.And if Crumb hadn't contributed his crafty penmanship and bawdy humor, even "Maus" wouldn't have been enough to earn "Funny Aminals" the total score of "9" I begrudgingly bestowed upon it."
