Croquette & Empanada

This little book is a collection of comics all about the relationship of Croquette and Empanada, who are a sort of illustrated version of the author and her boyfriend. I don't know how much the resemblance is accurate in the behaviours but I found this little collection very nice and enjoyable. The scenes were cute and I especially liked the ones where their dog and cat were shown.
It's a perfect if you want a cute and quick read!

I thought the adventures of Croquette & Empanada were cute and funny. There were definitely some moments that made me laugh out loud (he repeats on you like garlic, lol). It some light hearted humor when it comes to relationships. The drawings are great as well.

This book was a fun collection of Croquette and Empanada’s relationship. It shows the mundane, quirky and irritable happenings of most relationships. One of the comics is about Empanada hogging all of the covers on the bed. It’s funny and sweet.

A very adorable book about the trials and tribulations of being in an inter-culinary relationship in the modern world. Great fun and a super interesting read.

This was really cute comic about the relationship of Croquette and Empanada. I liked the scary bedtime stories. Illustrations were really cute.

This was a cute work in a delightfully surprising way - instead of the collection of sweet couple moments,that I anticipated, it was a light look at many of the common little issues that crop up naturally in any relationship.

First of all thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Review:
This book is a quick and sweet collection of stories about Croquette and Empanada’s life. I loved the “scary bedtime stories” with Empanada stealing all the covers and the stories about their pets.
I think it's adorable that the these characters are actually a croquette and an empanada
Ana Oncina is an amazing illustrator and when I found her account on instagram I was far from disappointed, I probably prefer her usual style over the one she used in this book, but I think this one is adorable!

This was super cute and adorable as the title and art suggests. It’s a collection of charming couple stories. Some scenarios are relatable for me while others are not so much, but I’m sure anyone who picks up this book will find something that will make them smile or laugh. The author perfectly captures co-living shenanigans from cooking to cleaning to adopting pets.

It is fun to watch the two very different personalities of Croquette and Empanada working together to create a happy home, and grow into a small happy family. Any couple will agree that in any relationship, disagreements will be a part of life, but as long as your love for each other stays, and is nurtured by thoughtfulness and commitment, it will always be a match made in heaven—just like our yummy couple Croquette and Empanada.

Received a complementary copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange of an honest review. All the following opinions are my own.

I LOVED IT! The book is a collection of short, humourous stories that depict the relationship between Croquette and Empanada. It's a really short read, and the artwork is very cute. The dialogue and the scenarios in the book are not new as such, but they are relatable and funny nonetheless. Would totally recommend this book if you're a fan of Sarah Anderson and Catana Comics!

What a fun comic book! I loved reading Croquette & Empanada by Ana Oncina and now I will follow them on the internet. Some of my favourite little stories in the collection include the trip to Berlin, what day is it? Your Birthday!, and of coarse, He repeats himself like garlic! Thanks #netgalleyfor letting me read this, #croquetteEmpanada, an adorable comic!

Very adorable comic! I love that the characters are food but still relatable. Will appeal to young adults and older teens.

Cute, cute, sweet, cute! I really liked the art style, colors and little stories. I didn't know the author and now I will stalk her on social media, thanks NetGalley! <3

This comic was funny, sweet, and relatable. I really liked the cute artwork and the stories are ones that every compatible couple can relate to. He may be a Croquette, and she an Empanada, he likes dogs, and she likes cats, but together they make a sweet and loving couple who find themselves in endearing and humorous situations. I mean, who hasn’t insisted to watch a movie that the other doesn’t want to, only to fall asleep immediately after it starts? Who hasn’t signed up for the gym, been motivated for about ten seconds, and then promptly lose interest?

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fast, fun, and adorable read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the author for providing me with a free ARC!

The art is very cute and the short stories are very relatable and wholesome.

Wasn't 5 stars because it did drag a bit and was a bit too short in my opinion.

First, I want to thank Netgalley for giving me the opportunity of reading the graphic novel "Croquete and Empanada"

It is a graphic novel created by the Spanish author Ana Oncina. “Croquete and Empanada” are a fun couple who show us different kinds of situations, such as: living together as a couple, traveling, shopping with your significant other, etc.

The main themes of the novel are: love, mutual support and empathy. It is an adorable novel, accompanied by humor. Very easy and fun to read, it took me less than an hour to finished it. It's the first time I read a comic by this author and I found it funny and saw myself in some of the strips; I hope to read the following comics of "Croquette and Empanada".

I really enjoyed reading Croquette & Empanada. The graphic novel is a collection of different stories regarding daily life of a couple. Some stories are so true that I could really resemble my daily life with my boyfriend. Croquette & Empanada is a light and funny graphic novel. Perfect to relax and laugh about daily life's situations. I loved the illustrations and the color chosen by the author. An adorable graphic novel to read with your better half.

So adorable. I'm a big fan of animated food in almost any context, and this story was really sweet and made me smile.

This is an adorable little comic book about Croquette and Empanada, a couple just going though life and having adventures. I really liked that there were a bunch of different stories in this collection but that they still had an overarching story line that they kept to. Some of the stories were just a page long and then some were up to a few pages long. I liked the variety of the lengths of all the different stories. I also really liked the artwork and the color palette in this graphic novel. I would recommend to pretty much anyone. The stories could be enjoyed by any age group with no problems I think.

Croquette and Empanada is a graphic novel about two people in a relationship. They’re represented as an Empanada and Croquette who completely fit in a world of humans, with a few other food characters sprinkled in. It’s broken down into a bunch of short comics that explore everything from the hardships of sharing a bed (stolen covers, pushing the other person off the bed, etc.) to going on a trip abroad. As with most graphic novels of this style, it’s a very fast read, easily sped through in around an hour or less.

I found the story to be very adorable, and I think that people in a relationship would really enjoy reading this together, as many parts are very relatable. I just got out of a year-long relationship, and while reading I frequently wanted to show relatable parts of it to him. 😦 Nevertheless, I kept finding myself with a smile on my face, because I could relate so much with the cute, whimsical Empanada.

The art style is very easy to look at with calm, muted colors and simple scenes that aren’t cluttered. The characters are very cute and you can read the emotion on their faces in every panel, which adds to the story. Their expressions are almost comical at times.

All in all, I enjoyed reading Croquette and Empanada. I’ll give it 4/5 stars because while I found it to be very amusing and adorable, I’m not sure if it will stick with me. The majority of the comics reminded me of the type of content you quickly read on a social media site, share with a friend, and then move on with your day. That’s how reading this felt. I felt warm and fuzzy while reading it, but I’m not sure how much I’ll remember in a day or so.

Croquette & Empanada is a collection of short stories based on the romantic relationship of the author. The art style is very simple and expressive. Most of the stories felt they weren't connected with each other, but clearly, this book follows a timeline. Towards the end, that became obvious with the appearance of new characters that were introduced. Even though the stories are really short, they express a lot of Croquette and Empanada's personalities over several situations while causing a few laughs along the way.

Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the review copy.

I like the colour palette used to show the story , in not much colours but still calm and beautiful!!

This is a story of two people from the starting of their relationship , how it did and all the way to making it !! Being real , friendly to each other and being cute !! Both of them.

The story of ordinary people but not so people, Ahh u gotta read it to find. It's really cute , funny story that will make you laugh many times!!!! Be ready for having small laughing every now and then.

Keeping up with each other and teasing is so fun to read in this sweet tale of relationship.

Had a fun time, light hearted and cozy. One of the cutest couple ever.

So Lovely!!!!!
I love this couple!!! The short stories told in the book are so similar to any relationship in the real life that it's impossible not to compare to your own couple relation

Croquette & Empanada, the snack-food alter-egos of the author and her partner, are adorable. The comic vignettes depict a snapshot of their relationship in a cute and heartwarming way. There are elements in a couple of the stories that may not be universal and may cause some confusion, but otherwise the characters are portrayed in relatable scenarios. Overall, a kawaii look at couple life.

It was a very cute and interesting graphic novel. I love the illustrations and the comics throughout are entertaining.

The story is so cutie patotie. I couldn't help but crave for more. The illustration is eye catching and inviting.

I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this!

Cute, quick read about Empanada & Croquette, the graphic novel is full of cute little stories about their relationship, I especially liked the scary bedtime stories. I have to admit since I don't have the experience of living with a significant other i couldn't completely relate but I still found the stories cute and I love the art of Ana Oncina.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

Really good, cute and fun read. I think we all can relate to at least one story of this couple. You can read it in one sitting and enjoy yourself and the book while reading it. If you want a fun, kind of fluffy, relatable and quick read, go for this one (and I bet her other books are as good as this one, at least the others about Croquette and Empanada). Would love to read the other ones.

I couldn't read it, but i guess the story is really cool
I would love to read it if you could send me another digital copy, because this one was all black and couldn't be read.

This was a hilarious graphic novel about a boy and a girl being in love. Their ups and downs are realizing and laugh-out-loud funny and relatable. Together they go on trips, move in, get their first pet, and just spend time with each other.

What made this great was how realistic it really was. I found myself laughing a lot and thinking about myself and my significant other. Even though the characters are foods, that is the only non-realistic aspect of this series.

The images were detailed enough but simple and the panels and sectioning was very well done. It was easy to read and follow and the stories were short little clips which meant I could read a few and then do something else without having to invest a lot of time in one sitting. This is a great graphic novel and if you have someone in your life, this would be a great one to share with them and laugh over how real it all is.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for an ARC of this adorable book in exchange for honest feedback!

This book is super cute! The art style is charming and full of character. I love the relationship between Croquette and Empanada, which feels very genuine. (Not surprising, since this is loosely based on the creator's relationship with her partner.) While this isn't exactly a groundbreaking book, it is absolutely charming and fun, and well worth a look if you enjoy slice of life, or even just cute and humorous books.
