Comic Collection Review: Oh No

Posted on August 8, 2019 at 12:09 pm by Gene Ambaum

Oh No by Alex Norris. Andrews McMeel, 2019. 9781449492533. 120pp.

A collection of webcomics from webcomicname.com. Starring a pink humanoid character, the comic strip’s drawings are simple, and the third panel of each ends with an “Oh no” which seem to function as criticism or comment on comic strip gags and making comic strips and struggling to make art. These comics are are brilliant. (And whether or not you’re already a fan, this collection is worth picking up for the Table of Contents, the Introduction, and the About the Author sections.) This is my favorite of the few online comics I read, and I’m excited to be able to both give this as a gift and to see it on library book display shelves everywhere.
