Note: Despite her appearance on the cover, Petunia Pig isn’t in this comic.
REVIEW:
It’s no surprise that the purported humor in these five tales is pretty weak. At least, the cheap-looking artwork is sufficient. Curiously, in “Extra Long Division,” the Road Runner is billed as ‘Beep Beep,’ and he actually talks in friendly conversations with the Coyote. That element alone confirms that this comic is the equivalent of a kiddie picture book (or an used coloring book). For the sole purpose of briefly entertaining the ‘6-and-under’ crowd, this inoffensive pap could be a decent choice.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
None.
