I love comics – I am not opposed to reading whatever I come across, especially if someone is giving it to me. When I picked up Ariol, based on the art of the cover I thought it was going to be much more of a kiddy comic than what I got. The characters appear to be in high school and sometimes the humor seems targeted at adults. Of course I’m sure teens would be entertained as well. There is some school time, family interaction, silly game playing (Did you ever play that kissing game when you were younger where one person sucks a napkin to their mouth you try to pass it to the next person in the circle, you drop it – you kiss. Very similar to that!) I didn’t feel that the storyline and characters were particularly captivating, this is probably because I prefer my comics with a bit of a creepy or supernatural edge. I definitely this the sometimes slight snark here would appeal to the typical Sunday Paper comic reader.

Art – Exactly what you see on the cover, simple lines, very sketch toony.

Story – It wasn’t very gripping, but had its funny nostalgic moments.

Overall – 3 stars, I wasn’t the perfect target audience for this one but I know a few people who would definitely enjoy it. ( )

Ariol is an everyday 'tween donkey with blue glasses who lives in the suburbs with his mom and dad, as well as a host of other animal friends and teachers. ( )
