Rose Is Rose Right on the Lips

Pat Brady"s comic strips send readers to another plane. That"s quite an accomplishment for a simple story line centered on a two-parent, single-child family. But Brady"s readers soar, through both the laughs and a visual visceral connection to the feelings the characters themselves experience. Rose is Rose Right on the Lips: A Rose is Rose Collection continues the tales of the Gumbo family. Rose is the wife and mother, a child at heart who just happens to have a biker chick alter ego. Husband Jimbo, a "decent Neanderthal," looks like an average blue-collar dad, but he"s actually an incurable romantic. And Pasquale, their son, is an imagination-fired kid who loves Peekaboo, the family cat, and is often saved from trouble by his guardian angel. Brady swirls this familial mix into seemingly endless recipes of fun, adventure, and fantasy, but he adds a special magic with his original sense of perspective and space that makes readers feel as though they, too, are part of the action. This collection of daily and Sunday strips from the past year is a great introduction to those new to Rose is Rose and a surefire winner with longtime Gumbo-family fans. The creator adds value for all readers by including two flip books in the pages" lower corners, delightfully animating the characters right in front of their eyes!Brady, Pat is the author of 'Rose Is Rose Right on the Lips' with ISBN 9780740739552 and ISBN 0740739557.
