An adorable, funny, and feel-good comic following the internet's favourite cat, Grumpy Cat, and her brother Pokey. I loved this. It was cute, it was funny, it was well written and the illustration style fit perfectly.
If you love Grumpy Cat, or even if you don't, you'll appreciate this series. Ben McCool does a great job, and the other artists offer stories in a sort of garfield form--but better.
Grumpy Cat is the hero we need in 2016, and we love Grumpy Cat SO MUCH!
Even people who may not enjoy comics will find this cute.
This comic book made me laugh. The stories were fun, the art was cute and the dialogue was funny. I laughed out loud at the story about Grumpy and Pokey being superheroes. There were some funny little one liners in there.
In this collection of comics, Grumpy Cat is mean, Pokey is rather lacking in common sense, and the humor falls flat.
This first volume of "The Misadventures of Grumpy Cat and Pokey" follows internet famous Grumpy cat, and her brother Pokey, along eleven stories of adventure, taking them from hunting for treasure in a haunted house, playing neighborhood detectives, celebrating birthdays and Halloween, to time travelling, talking to aliens and using magical Egyptian incantations. The stories are cute and funny, and the dynamic between the all time unenthusiastic and sarcastic Grumpy and the hyper, super excited Pokey is chuckle worthy and entertaining, albeit reminiscent of Garfield and Odie. The illustrations are also very vivid and cute, and along with the stories, make this short graphic novel a quick and fun read.
I had a good time reading this graphic novel and I'm looking forward to picking up the following volumes when I feel like having a chuckle. I'd recommend this one to adult fans of funny, animal comics, as well as young children. I can actually picture this graphic novel, along with the rest of the Grumpy Cat volumes in my classroom library and can already see my elementary school students laughing out loud at Grumpy's and Pokey's adventures.
You can;'t go wrong with Grumpy Cat, and Grumpy cat Volume 1 is a perfect comic for the crazy cat ladies among us.

So funny to read, Grumpy Cat's grumpiness shines through on every page. It's a mixture of a number of different comic strips, the drawings are fantastic and the dialogue interesting. This comic book would appeal to readers of all ages, especially if a Grumpy Cat fan like me!
I absolutely LOVE Grumpy Cat - in any form. I have a calendar at work, a stuffed animal at home, and countless references to her on my Facebook feed. This was just one more venue in which the Grump is strong. Good fun if you a fan like me.
Okay, so this was sooooo fun! It was a great read and would recommend to anyone who is in need of something quick and fun.
While I enjoy Grumpy Cat as a meme personality, I found the comic to be more of just a set-up for one liners rather than a story in itself.
