5 Graphic Novels by Andrews McMeel



Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat is a hilarious adventure of a young detective child who follows all the clues from morning to night of his missing hat. The plot twists and misadventures add to the humor. Loved the end, and I couldn't stop smiling with this story and art. The kitties are just so sweet and cute. Loved it all. But that's not all. He gets to help with a real case and the police officers appreciate his help.

Neopets and the Omelette Faerie


Art 4.75 stars

Story 3.75 stars

A graphic novel series that is tied in with the famous webcomic Neopets. We join Saber-X, Petpet Fang, and Seraphina (a disgraced Fire Faerie in love with a water one) with the humor that the webcomic has delivered to us. It's a mystery to solve, why the giant omelette has been corrupted, grave things will happen if it's not restored.

If you are a fan of the webcomic you'll appreciate these. Sometimes the font gets really small because of too many panels on a single page.

Snoopy Touchdown: A Peanuts Collection


Art 5 stars

Stories 5 stars


This is a Classic. A great collection focused on sports, and weather as we love it, with all the characters.

"The secret of life is to look good at the distance."

Always great humor, short stories, episodes, and my favorite: Snoopy.

"Well, sometimes things happen..." Indeed we can always count on these character's wisdom.

"You love those hockey gloves, and shinguards... more than you love me (...) That's not true! I love you much more than I love my elbow pads."

I think Snoopy made me want to become an author.

"Sleeping is busy!" Saving this one.

Like I said... Always a Classic, perfect for every season to gift or collect.

Unicorn Time Machine is part of a long collection of amazing novels starring Phoebe and Her Unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. This time they use a time machine to learn more about their family's history. Filled with humor. If you love Calvin and Hobbes you'll enjoy this one. Easy to read, the pages connect as a single story but also read as individual scenes.

A 4 panel each page kind of comic with great font size.

Pocket Peaches at the Fair


Art 5 Stars

Story 5 Stars


I love books set in theme parks. This is such a cute series, can be read as a standalone. Very Kawaii. And with a lot of cute desserts. A contest would be a great way for Mango to bring more people to Calico Cafe, but it doesn't go that way. Still, it's great to be happy and a supporter of others winning. Great for younger readers. Now I want to eat a Moonberry Swirl.
