They lobster the kelpcakes

Officer Clawsome V01 Kelpcake Crisis!   by Brain Smitty Smith

March 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport  already own  As the description says of this Brain Smitty Smith graphic novel, Officer Clawsome: Kelpcake Crisis!  this is Dogman meets Spongebob. And if you like them, you will like this. There is a bit of “James Bond-like” elements with a few villains (there is a mechanical shark that has one heck of a bad diet…I mean eating garbage is one thing, but whole buildings?), but overall, everything is straight forward and not overly “sophisticated.” Then again, a talking lobster who is a former […]

Pinball’s lineage

Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball by Jon Chad

March 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

  CBR15Passport Genre  The history of pinball and video games is just the start of Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball by Jon Chad. We get a little history of the country, and we get to see how things have not really changed on one hand (pinball/video games will corrupt our children! Lead them to a life of crime! It is just luck no skill!) and how they have changed (from the tabletop games to our known look for pinball machines, from France […]

The Wolves of Sports Television

Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by James Andrew Miller, Tom Shales

March 5, 2023 by Halbs Leave a Comment

The thing I appreciated about this book the most was how it came into my possession. Several years ago (pre-COVID), I went to an estate sale in my parents’ neighborhood. From what I could tell, the person for whom the estate sale was held was a retired military guy, very into sports and “dad” books, with great taste in music. He had lots of interesting books and music CDs, and I bought this book, an old Yardbirds live recording, and a random tool. Sometimes estate […]

Batman the B!tch and other Running Stories and Rules

Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide by Christopher McDugall, Eric Orton

March 4, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I got Born to Run 2 on sale on a whim and I’m glad I didn’t pay full price. This book gets judgey and inflexible; it does have some good looking recommendations for individual activities for training, and recipes for long run pre/post/mid run nutrition. The book is a running guide book and it’s set up to follow a core group of people who run and their journeys to find a way to do so that works (naturally it’s the trainers who wrote/inspired the book’s). […]

I relate Abigail. I relate

Abigail the Whale by Davide Cali

January 26, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport book set another country: Davide Cali is a Swiss-born Italian and book was originally in French   I had forgotten I had requested Abigail the Whale when I received the email saying it was on hold for me at the library. Why did I request this book? I remembered when I saw the cover. Oh, yes, this was the book about body image. Now where did I see it again? That did not matter as I quickly realized this is a book that it […]

The land is Bailiwick, the hero is Barb

Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick by Dan & Jaso

January 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Different Countries. (The magical realm of Bailiwick) Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick is the third installment of the Dan & Jason series. However, while it was still funny, it was not as strong as the first two. It did continue the story of Barb the Berzerker and friends (and enemies) as they battle for their home, families, and friends. We see how different people (monsters, humans, etc.) come together as a team. Now, they do not fight each […]
