She's a Momma, Not a Movie Star: A Rose is Rose Collection

by Pat Brady

Rose is Rose presents the extraordinary nature of everyday life as seen through the eyes of the Gumbo family. The strip stars child-at-heart Rose and her ASD (Attentiveness Surplus Disorder) husband Jimbo. Their gentle son Pasquale is watched over by his Guardian Angel who morphs from tiny cherub into gargantuan protector. Family kitten Peekaboo boasts that her humans are the cutest in town. Readers relish the romance in Rose and Jimbo's marriage, yet cheer the emergence of Rose's rebel alter ego, the fearless, wild and ready-to-roll Vicki the Biker.

Reviews

[Mary Catelli · Rating 3 out of 5]

An early one, with some lightsome humor about Pasquale and his parents and his guardian angel and his selfish cousin Clem. . . .

Has some amusing fantasy ones that he gave up. Also some ones about martial squabbles and discontent that he didn't really manage to make funny.

I don't typically read comics, but am glad I picked this up! Funny pieces of every day life. I actually laughed out loud at times!
