RI Author Month: Graphic Novel: Sour Grapes by Tim Jones

Welcome to RI Author Month

Synopsis: "SOUR GRAPES IS A COMIC ABOUT AESOP, A MISERABLY FUNNY DOG THAT CAN'T SEEM TO GET AWAY FROM THE MISFORTUNES OF LIFE, INCLUDING HIS COMPANIONS: MADDY, SLICE AND CONSTANCE, WHO JUST ADD TO THE PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FOLLOWING EPISODES!"

My Rating: I have been seeing Tim Jones at the RI Author Expo for a couple of years now, and his comics have been in the newspapers and online for years, but now he finally has a compilation in print for me to add to my shelves!  I love the classic illustration style of his comics.  Aesop is such a grumpy and cynical character, and I definitely could relate to a lot of his comments. Definitely an entertaining read.

My Rating: I don't normally read comic strips but this is one that I found entertaining and I enjoyed reading a bunch of individual strips combined into one book. I give it a rating of Three Paws and a Stump Wag.

You can find out more about Tim Jones and his comic on his Website or Facebook Page.
