Summary:

Our favorite duck family is back; this time, they’re dealing with tweens/teenagers. It’s a harrowing time, to be sure. Yet they’ll get through it, thanks to the humor (often dark) they possess.

Brian Gordon’s sense of humor brings reality to these comics, creating slice-of-life style comics that are utterly relatable. Whether you’re a teen (or were one many years ago) or a parent, you’ll relate to these moments.

Review:

Fowl Language has done it again! Tweenage Wasteland was a hilarious and delightful read from start to finish. As always, the comics are short, sweet, to the point - and very relatable. As I mentioned in the summary, it doesn’t matter if you’re a teen now or were a teen once; the content is gold (In reality, it’s undoubtedly even funnier for parents of teens).

If you’re trying to get a feel for the humor in Fowl Language: Tweenage Wasteland, I’d suggest taking a good look at the cover. That honestly sums it up better than I ever could (and will hopefully give you a good chuckle while you’re at it).

The artwork is always so bright and fun, even when the darker humor creeps in a bit. It’s the perfect balance, comedically and stylistically. Each comic is in a slice-of-life fashion, though they’re usually connected to the same (duck) family.

So relatable and so funny! I constantly laughed out loud reading this.

The jokes were funny, but there was too much swearing for my taste.

So fun. Either he’s met my kids, and this book is about them, or it turns out that their behaviour is normal. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one experiencing this behaviour.

Relatable to any parent of tweens and teens! I've been following Gordon's Fowl Language for years now and he never fails to capture parenting moments with succinct hilarity. He does it again here.
