The Ren & Stimpy Show “Kid Stimpy” by Dan Slott, Mike Kazaleh, Ken Mitchroney, Brad K. Joyce, and Ed Lazellari

★★★★
Genre: Based on TV/Humor
Release Date: June 1993
Source: Comic Store– Bought
On My Shelf: Yes

This comic was funny. It didn’t have me crumpled on the floor in a heap of laughter, but it had me smiling quite frequently and even LOLing every now and then.

The content in this comic felt a bit disparate. I didn’t feel like the two topics fit together in the way the artists wanted them to. It was a bit disconcerting to go back and forth, and I found myself having to readjust every time the story switched. And, since the comic was so short, I think it’s the main reason this one didn’t get 5 stars from me.

I also found that the humor could have been a bit better. As I said, I was smiling and laughing, just not as much as I should have been. Ren & Stimpy are (were?) hilarious, and this comic didn’t reach hilarious status.

Still, I know these are old, but if you come across this, definitely pick it up. It’s totally worth the read.
