review:
'Alison and her Rock Awesome Robot Vol. 1' by Fred Chao is about Alison, her pet robot, her mother and father and the 5 penguins and a monkey they live with.

I don't know why Alison's house has penguins and a monkey. I'm not even sure why there is a robot. I suppose we don't need to know. I also don't know why the artist has a comic strip among these comic strips where he shares an office with celebrity chef Alton Brown. There is a lot of silly concept here.

Unfortunately, they don't often result in many laughs. It would be a cute kids comic, but there is so much cultural reference to 80s and 90s culture that much of that would go over a kids head.

But Alison is pretty funny with her love for pillow fights and cherry popsicles. There is poor Carl with his unrequited crush on Alison. There are Alison's parents who feel pretty normal.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Action Lab Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
