The Tragedy Series: Secret Lobster Claws and Other Misfortunes by Benjamin Dewey
5.0
4.5 out of 5: Brilliant content, minor formatting issues*
This series is wonderfully whimsically snarky with a touch of witty nonsense. It is a light hearted read that just makes you smile no mater how your day is going. The illustrations are simply amazing and the fun game he added was great. I can't tell you how many hours I spent trying to decipher the clues.
I had a few issues with formatting. The text at the beginning was too small. It took some effort to read. The printing process wasn't at the quality I was expecting, creating lines in the illustrations. Also the margins were off making the comic's bleed a bit into the binding making it heard to see. I would have loved to see these beautiful creations in a way that let them truly shine.
But the content is so amazing. This is a book I will forever have on my shelf and I am now officially addicted to the tumblr.
