Merman in My Tub, Volume 3: 04/04/22

Merman in My Tub, Volume 3

Merman in My Tub, Volume 3 by Itokichi continues the four panel comic. It's the last of the volumes I have on hand and will probably be the last one I'll be reading any time soon. There are eight volumes in total.

This volume goes through the seasons and has seasonal jokes. Unfortunately there's a lot of repeat in the type of jokes and humor. In that regard it reminds me of Garfield which only has maybe a half dozen types of jokes that have been repeated as variations on a theme since 1978.

The one addition to volume three is a new character: a starfish. He's interesting only because he likes to hang from the ceiling. Doesn't matter that he's the size of a young boy, he can still stick to things like the smaller more ordinary varieties of sea stars.

Three stars
