Summary: This book is awsome.
Review: Before i got the book i liked Rose is Rose a lot. Now that i have read it way more that twice, i adore this comic. i think everybody should have a copy. It's so cute. It's got everything, from Rose remembering her past to Jimbo having a near death experience, to Pasquale's wild and crazy immiganition, and much more. When you have a second, read it. It's worth it

Summary: Sweet, sincere, artistically incredible.
Review: I grew up with "talking heads" type comics. I can burn through the Sunday funnies in about a minute-and-a-half just reading the text and, truthfully, this is what I =did= do for many years because it was rare to find anything really interesting to look at. But when "Calvin and Hobbes" came around, and Berke Breathed transmogrified "Bloom County" into "Outland", I started to stop and look at what could be done in what I had formerly considered a fairly seriously limited medium.Around 1992, I started a subscription to a local paper which carried "Rose is Rose" and I immediately recognized the same kind of wondrous artistic talent in Pat Brady that I had seen in Breathed and Waterston. Even more so, since the author didn't have the clout of these other two, he had to cram this creativity into the formats and patterns dictated by the newspaper nazis (who want to make sure there's plenty of room for those Sizzler's coupons). The subject matter of the strip isn't for everyone. It's a sincere, sweet look at a happy family. The humor in the strip doesn't generally derive from strife or even serious friction, but from the characters' expressions of imagination, and even the creative manner in which they get along. The fact that this works without being cloying, in a millenium ushered in by the Simpsons and South Park, is a testament to the truth behind the art.

Summary: Mommas can be movie stars too!
Review: I love Rose is Rose, and this collection of strips has given me no reason to think otherwise. For the humorous looks at life you've come to expect from Rose and her family, (and Peekaboo, too!), get this. :) I couldn't stop laughing, and I had to read the whole book in one sitting!

Summary: Sweet but not icky.
Review: I read this book without strong expectations and immediately found myself enthralled. The jokes were funny, the drawings excellent, the way the panels were laid out and designed often intriguing. It's something as rare as a non-cynical and yet non-icky comic strip about a family that enjoy each other's company. Highly recommended to any one who enjoys comics of the "Calvin and Hobbes" or "Peanuts" sort. And anyone else for that matter. This strip could make a comics-convert out of most

Summary: Loved it!

Summary: Purrfectly, Rosily real!
Review: Pat Brady manages to capture some of life's moments at their finest. He conjures up the littlest, most insignificant seeming memories and inspires upon them a wealth of meaning. It's absolutely adorable without causing cavities. All romance, cat, famliy, nostalgia, or anything lovers won't be able to put it down without reading the whole thing! He really gives meaning to the cliche, "It's the little things that count."
