Betty Boop 2-4. For some reason I wasn't that into the first issue. Maybe it was just my mood when I read it. But I spead through these last 3 this weekend. The art for some reason reminds me of Kennel Block Blues. I loved the humor and old fashioned vocab. Anyone have any recs with similar type of humor? How do these compare to the old Betty Boop comics?

Never heard of Kennel Block Blues.

Recommendations for comics similar to Betty Boop.

You could try Roger Langridge's Popeye from IDW. Nothing else remotely similar to BB in the comic book market that I'm aware of.

I have some of those. I'll give them a go. I had a feeling you would say Popeye because of the similar time period.

Not so much that, as for the fact that both DE's Betty Boop and IDW's Popeye comic books were written by Roger Langridge - and of course both characters were originally animated cartoon stars from the Fleischer Brothers studio, even though Popeye originated as a newspaper comic strip character. The Fleischer animators had an urban, "New York" sensibility, unlike the other major animation studios like Disney and Warner Brothers, which were California based.

How was Kiss? I enjoyed the other Kiss series that come
Out recently.

KISS: The Demon had the same writer (possibly the same artist, too) as the other KISS #1, and is a prequel to the earlier series. Neither one did much for me, so I won't be continuing on this one either.

School Bites chapter 1 and 2. A bit disappointed. The art and writing is better in Holly G's turn in Sabrina and Cheryl Blossom. Reminded me a lot of Eerie Cuties.

School Bites chapter 1 and 2. A bit disappointed. The art and writing is better in Holly G's turn in Sabrina and Cheryl Blossom. Reminded me a lot of Eerie Cuties.

The storyline is a bit disjointed and meandering, sort of a loosely connected series of scenes. Worse still is that there are no character design templates, and Holly is constantly shifting her style of drawing. Cherri Creeper and her friends never quite look the same from one scene to the next, almost as if Holly's drawing style was reflecting her mood the day she drew that page. I'm not a fan of the chibi style in particular. There were a lot of times when I became momentarily confused about which character I was looking at, and the fact that all the characters are usually wearing their school uniforms wasn't helping.

It's great that she's so talented that she's able to draw well in such a wide variety of styles, but visual identification of the characters is one of the primary means of reader identification with the characters. She should have picked one style and stuck with it, because she can't assume the readers are going to like all the different styles equally. It's annoying, like having an Archie story drawn in the styles of Little Archie, New Look Archie, Classic Archie, and New Riverdale Archie on random pages within the same continuing story.

Vampire Cheerleaders (Zoom Comics; I followed the link from the Pixie Trix site) is another webcomic series I've been checking out that bears a lot of similarities to School Bites, Eerie Cuties, and Monster High (or for that matter, Darin Henry's Super Suckers). The artwork in the first couple of volumes of VC is by Shiei, whose style reminds me of Shouri's art for Pixie Trix Comix. VC even has a companion series, Paranormal Mystery Squad, with shared characters, just like Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks. VC/PMS might even share the same universe with EC, MC & Dangerously Chloe, as there were a couple of short guest strips where (in a flashback to childhood scene) Layla from EC gave the main character from VC the same skull-shaped hairpin that she wears. (VC and PMS are both also available in digital and paperback).

Sonic the Hedgehog, Archie, and Dragon Ball Z is what I've been reading lately.

Dragonball Z isn't still going in Japan, is it? Those are old ones, right?
