Summary: Gosh, the characters are getting dizzier and dizzier!=O
Review: "Rose is Rose" is truly the perfect recipe for hyper-happiness, which probably doesn't exist anywhere on the Earth anyway. But at least there are a few bitter (but very brief) episodes every now and then in Rose's incredibly perfect family with a very, very devoted, loving ape-like husband and an adorable little cherub of a son who knows nothing but complete innocence and bliss of just being a happy tot in an almost-utopian suburban world. The art is getting more and more minimal-looking and it also looks more scratchy as if the tip of Pat Brady's brush is suddenly split in two (yep, happens to us cartoonists, sometimes.) The characters, especially Rose are getting quite ditzy and flighty, yet can still get away with hell (Rose once threw a screaming fit just because she lost something in a public restaurant.) And there is also far more hugging and kissing than normally required for a standard comic strip. The pet cat (eternally a baby kitten), Peekaboo's ears are getting bigger and floppier as if they are turning into a piglet's ears. To make her cuter and more fluffier than ever before, I bet. In all, the strip is a bit sillier and cloying than it has always been. But at least we have some cool things like Pasquale's guardian angel suddenly turning into a towering warrior (getting more overprotective than ever, aren't we?), Peekaboo doing some weird things (like turning her eyes into fireballs at night), and of course, there's always Vicki, the biker babe that grandly emerges whenever Rose gets too soft and dowdy for her own good.;)

Summary: Rose is back
Review: Rose is Rose is a two-part series. One part shows the extremely romantic Rose and Jimbo. Few couples can match their love and romance. The other part concerns their son Pasquale and being a little boy in a loving family. These two elements combine into one of the best strips around. In this volume, the romance and kissing have been turned up. Jimbo can not escape Rose's gravitational pull. Rose's alter ego (the biker chick) is also back in a lot of strips. One of the best collections yet. Rose is Rose can appeal to both the young and old alike. It's characters and humor are almost universal.
