Apparently these are not uncommon, what a world. It's nicely drawn, the characters are all quite resigned to life, and the whole thing feels very maudlin. I wolfed it down in an afternoon, slightly more slowly than I might eat an ice cream. Flake, by Matthew Dooley, is one of those "graphic novels" beloved by people who don't usually read comics: all the text is easy reading, all the pages are divided into multiple easy to follow rectangular panels, all the panels are filled in similar ways with familiar faces and places, and there's absolutely nothing in the presentation or content requiring any effort from a very average reader. This from a country that in real actual history produced the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars because truth is stranger than fiction, especially if your chosen fiction is par for the course, middle of the road, safe comforting reading for tired grey centrist dads. But I'm feeling generous as this is the artist's first published long form so: 3* aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Howard's aspirations are modest. As long as he can sell ice cream and get the crossword done, he'll be happy. So what happens when his world collides with the rampant ambition of his ice-cream nemesis, Tony Augustus? Flake is a story of fate, friendship and fighting back."--Provided by publisher.

What an enjoyable read! It is a light story that is appropriate for young readers. There are no sex scenes or dirty words. The artwork has been drawn in a whimsical style that matches the uncomplicated plot and is drawn in the usual comic strip format. All of the characters have round faces and stocky bodies. It makes them appear overweight but perhaps they are not. The story itself was fast paced. The characters are just as well developed as you would see in a fiction novel. I think a sequel is in order here. It would be a shame to not hear from these characters again. ( )
