I've been reading Lackadaisy as a webcomic for a while now and I absolutely love it! The art is gorgeous, the characters are all extremely well written, and the story is phenomenal! Glad to see that it is getting a graphic novel adaptation.

Lackadaisy is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel revolving around a speakeasy of the 1920s prohibition era. The characters are all cats. Just like the 1920s there are gangsters, deals under the table, and a lot of tommy guns.

I liked the eccentricity of the characters and the art was phenomenal. The pacing and character point of views was rather hard to follow at the beginning; it would switch from one page to the next. You’re following Rocky, then Ms. M, then others. There are a few things I am trying to figure out, the age range this is written for? And where this graphic novel is going? Since I had trouble following some of the minor intricacies of the plot, I don’t know the reason for some of the characters. I guess that would be made known in future novels. The artwork at the end is great! Love the color formats because it gave a better idea of what the characters looked like.

Illustrations - 5 stars!
Storyline - 2.5 or 3 stars
Overall: 3.5 - round up to 4 stars

Thank you Netgalley and Little Better Publishing Services for this ARC. Looking forward to the next installment.

I LOVE Lacakdaisy!!! I've been following this artist for forever, since junior high! I knew it was only a matter of time before her work was published on paper as well as a webcomic. Cats in the roaring 20s!!!
