The Lunar Antics

I will admit that whenever we get a daily paper, the first thing I read is the comics. I know, as an adult I should be reading about world news or politics, but those things don't interest me too much. I would rather laugh than have to deal with the reality that is our nation these days.

So imagine my delight when I was asked to review this new comic book, called Boy, I'd Hate To Be Made Out Of That Stuff. The comics inside are geared more towards adults, or at least teen aged kids. I tried to get Ryan and Kasi to read it (my 14 and 12 year olds) but they didn't get a lot of the jokes. I found them (the comics, not the kids) really amusing. Their take on our everyday doings are right on.

There are three things you should know about these aliens:

they have antennas

they have flying saucers

they are good in math

I think it's time to meet the cast of characters:

Zeno: He spends a lot of time making sure us Earthlings know that he is a lot smarter than us. He spends a lot of time pointing out our (us humans) shortcomings.

Zed: The math expert, but also very shy.

Linda: The only female alien, she is more than capable of going up against the boys. In fact, she is often threatening to straighten them out.

Drusus: This guy is hard to describe, because he is not in a lot of the comics. But when he does make an appearance, it is usually to assist one of the other guys in one scheme or another.

The Professor: The unlucky (or lucky, depending on how you view the situation) human who is hosting this alien family.

Check out one the comics from the book:
