Kovin kokkoä sarjakuvana. Katsokaa mieluummin animaatio, jos jostain käsiinne saatte.

I liked how it was like an episode. It was like watching the shown but reading.

Reason for Reading: Book 2 is a Cybils '10 nominee and as a panelist for Graphic Novels this is required reading for me. So I decided to go back and read book 1 as well.

First off these are basically comic books (same size, set-up, etc.) with paperboard covers to make it a "book" instead of a comic. Apparently Phineas and Ferb is a TV Cartoon (one I've never heard of, nor on a station we receive). Most other potential readers will be familiar with the show so I won't go into details. This book contains two short stories both of which involve the boys creating a fun invention, a swimming pool jello-mold trampoline & a water slide twisting around Big Ben, respectively) which Dr. Doofenshmirtz destroys because of some dastardly plan but at the end of the day secret agent Perry the platypus unbeknownst to anyone saves the day. Both were cute fun stories I'm sure fans of the characters will enjoy. In the first story I thought the jello trampoline monster was an original idea and in the second I enjoyed the James Bond humour especially of teaming Percy up with Agent Double O-O (isn't that triple O?). It's a funny scene.

Kerta kaikkiaan nerokas Phineas & Ferb -animaatiosarja ei toimi lainkaan sarjakuvaformaattiin siirrettynä - ei vaikka mukana on tohtori Tollontyötä vastaan kamppaileva agentti P eli poikien lemmikki Perry-nokkaeläin. Sääli.
