Meh. I just couldn't get into the sense of humor of this. Having read great middle grade graphic novels/comics, I just can't say, "Oh well, it's just for kids." Nah. I could see where it was trying to be funny, but never laughed. I won't be recommending this to my kids. -1 star for sexism.

This was funny, like, 25% of the time: when Ariol changes in his bed because it's cold (hits a bit close to home) and when everybody starts running with him when all he wants to do is be alone with Petula. Oh! And that Petula's mom calls her "moo moo". I would maybe rec this to tweens who are really into comic collections (like Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes). I didn't love it as much as other comic collections, but I am old and jaded.
