SpongeBob Comics #58, great value, art and laughs for 6 and up

I got in trouble the other day with my wife. It was busy and I needed the kids to watch something so I told them that they could watch SpongeBob. D’oh. There are just a couple words that they use in the show that our kids picked up and we’d rather not hear in the house. Mainly they use ‘stupid’, combined with the attitude that keeps Bikini Bottom off of our television screens for now. However, we do not have any issue with SpongeBob Comics. Issue #58 is a great example of that with detailed art, a busy, fun plot in this comic that jams lots of entertainment into its 32 pages.

32 pages is a great length for a comic book. If the comic is no good then it’s just filler, but thankfully for the audience SpongeBob Comics has lots of pages and manages to make them all work. This is a silly comic whose main story is one where Larry and Patrick get lost and sea and then marooned on an island. There is a little potty humor with Patrick’s breath being bad enough to power a sail and create sea monsters. The only other thing that parents could object to is when Larry says that he hates Patrick. However, that is done in such a way that it’s obviously sarcastic because it’s just before he cries over their friendship.

There are four other stories in the comic too, one of them being only one page while the others vary in length. The art and style in each story is different too. This is something that I really like because it gives the comic book a different feel, while providing the same laughs and feel-good atmosphere.

The characters in SpongeBob Comics behave exactly the same as you know from the television show. The difference in how they look is entirely up to the artists.  For example the art in the final story, The Great Big Breakfast Fiasco by John Trabbic is obviously SpongeBob, but he’s more rounded and looks different than the one drawn for television.

Our 6 year old loves to read and this is the comic book that he reads himself to sleep to. When we go on vacations he packs up every issue of SpongeBob Comics that he has for the road trip. You get the idea. This is a great comic book that you can pick up any issue and have a child that will be entertained. Don’t worry about anything inappropriate-it’s not here, just laughs, busy, happy characters and a pineapple under the sea.
