[OYAN] Funny graphic novels

[David L]

I'm a big fan of Azumanga Daioh, which has no romance (but it does have an almost entirely female cast, if that's a problem). I also lie the Three Thieves series by Scott Chantler (the first book is "The Tower of Treasure, I believe) and Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, which are both swashbucklers with a sense of humor.

You could try The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, though there's a tiny bit of romantic interest...not sure if the humor would outweigh the romance, but I found them hilarious!

Hey there.

Today I helped a young gentleman in his mid-teens who is looking for funny contemporary graphic novels-- ones that don't feature romance. He's like the James Patterson Maximum Ride graphic novels. My suggestions to him so
far:

   - Nimona by Stevenson
   - Yotsuba&! by Azuma
   - Meanwhile by Shiga
   - Lowriders in Space by Camper
   - Wild card: Ouran High School Host Club by Hatori

I feel like I'm missing something. Would any of you have any other ideas?

iGracias!

Violeta

I might also suggest Bandette (v. 1 & 2) by Paul Tobin and the Percy Jackson graphic novels (if he hasn't already read them).

Best,
MacKenzie
