And it’s almost as if a little bit of Adventure Time continues to live on.Ī physical ARC was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Kids will see themselves reflected in these two characters but so will adults. It was hard not to fall in love with Stag-B and Rhino-B – the two really are the best of friends for all the right reasons.

Overall, this is a very strong graphic novel for Random House Graphics to include in their debut list. I never considered putting the book down and not finishing it, and I would definitely consider reading future volumes, but it did bother me. ‘I’m not crying ’cause I’m sad! I’m just ALLERGIC! To these feelings.’One thing I didn’t completely love was the writing. ‘If you don’t care, then why are you crying?’ After finishing the graphic novel and reading Knetzger’s bio, I discovered that she was a storyboard artist for the show! Her art brought a lot of that same life into the story and that’s something that helped make it special. The first thing I thought of when I saw Bug Boys was how much the art style reminded me of Adventure Time. Laura Knetzger did an incredible job of capturing the fears and uncertainties that kids feel and having Stag-B and Rhino-B work through them. I loved how Rhino-B and Stag-B deal with the pressure of being true to each other and to the new friends they make on their journeys.This review and many others can also be found at Musings of a (Book) Girl.Īt first glance, Bug Boys seems like nothing more than the adventures that two best friends find themselves going on – but it’s so much more.
“Bug Boys has a wonderful blend of silliness, introspection, adventure and the right amount of weirdness. Join these two best bug buddies as they go above and beyond for each other and the friends they meet in their adventures. In their first adventure, the Bug Boys travel through spooky caves, work with a spider to found a library, save their town's popular honey supply from extinction, and even make friends with ferocious termites! Together these two young beetles make up the Bug Boys, best friends who spend their time exploring the world of Bug Village and beyond, as well as their own - sometimes confusing and complicated - thoughts and feelings. Stag-B is a calm and scholarly adventurer. Join two bug friends as they learn about the science of the world around them and the meaning of friendship in this early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly!
