The Dumbest Idea Ever!: A Graphic Novel by Jimmy Gownley
Charming, valuable to the right audience, not quite groundbreaking or anything though, so I have to choose 3 instead 4 stars. I do want to consider more by Gownley.
impulse grab at the library August 2023... maybe if I'd started with the first book it would have made more sense... I skipped through to the end after getting to p. 58 and my brain is just fried...
Jimmy Gownley's Amelia Rules series is one of my very favorites. If I stopped to rank the graphic novels series I've read, it would easily fall in the top 5. It's not dark, grim, or scary; in other words, it's nothing like my other favorites. It's funny, moving and it just rings true.
So when I was searching for more in the series, I found this instead, the author's story of how he got started in comics when he was a teenager, told in comic book form.
Amelia Rules fans will love it. I think it will probably appeal to people who haven't read Amelia Rules too. The artwork is appealing, the humor self-deprecating and honest.
Good stuff and a quick read.… (more)
