A review by ljrinaldi
The Fun Family by Benjamin Frisch

1.0

This has a good premise, but like a one-trick-pony it just wears out its welcome really quickly.

I get the joke, that the beloved cartoonist behind the family strip is missing a few gears, and that life is not all pure and good and happy. Great. But then to go on for 243 more pages about the divorce, and the kids and the son taking over the cartooning. I got bored I skipped ahead to the end, and was still bored.

Sorry, not sorry, but this book is not worth the non-paper it is printed on. It is not because I don't like satire. It is not because I don't like graphic novels. It is not for any of those reasons. I can see now why it was an instant download from Netgalley

Thanks to Netgalley for providing this book for an honest review.
