Over the Garden Wall: Vol. 3 by Jim Campbell

3.0

Well, I liked the parts that weren't about the animal school. That was a fine part of the miniseries when it was on Cartoon Network, but I think the 10 or so minutes of that episode were more than enough for me. I totally lost interest once I got to the animal school chapter (once again). I think that's the unfortunate trend in my reading of this comic series.

I just want more of the creepy atmosphere that the show provides. It's very jarring to be placed back in the animal school after following anything that Greg and Wirt get up to. Not only do I have very minimal interest in the animal school itself, but I also don't really like the art style--it is so incredibly different than the way the rest of the series is drawn. I can only say that I'm grateful those parts are fast reads.

With all that being said, I was fairly bored by this volume. I read a little more than half of it in a day and then abandoned it for about a month before I tried to finish it. Not gripping.
