A review by plaidbrarian
Alison and Her Rock Awesome Robot by Fred Chao

4.0

A cute "precocious imaginative kid with bizarre sidekicks" strip that lives in the space between Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes featuring a girl, her robot, her monkey, her penguins, her friends, her family, and sometimes fictionalized versions of the cartoonist and Alton Brown. It's fun, it's nostalgic, and as you read the reasons it came into being toward the book's end, a bit therapeutic, too. I hope we get more.
