Octopus Pie

For this post I read Octopus Pie. This one was actually very funny. Just some of the facial expressions that they characters have and the situations that they are put into are really funny. Like there was a part where they were showing different ways to avoid "the sidewalk shuffle". It was really funny to see the different things that they came up with. The "lost love" one was my favorite. The characters are definitely the ones that made the story because though it had themes and story arches it was definitely more comedic and almost like a Family Guy episode when they describe a situation and show the situation actually happening in a funny way.

I really enjoyed the illustrative style of this comic. It definitely helped with the story and the comedy of the story. In some places it really reminded me of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World because of the illustrative style and the dialogue between characters. I was chuckling at points because its one of those comics that you can read by yourself and laugh because you would ask yourself the same kinds of questions they ask themselves or say some of the same things. Some of the secret agent stuff was really funny. It was one of those things that made you think twice and be like, "That's ridiculous......but funny at the same time." So I definitely describe this as a ridiculously funny comic and if you like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World you will like this.
