Oggy and the Cockroaches: Oggy New Year #1

I rang in the new year with this holiday special from American Mythology Comics. Based on the French animated series of the same name, Oggy and the Cockroaches is a wild series about a house cat and an invading trio of pests. 

The artwork is reminiscent of Ren and Stimpy. To the point, I thought that this was actually done by that same art team. The humor is absurdist. But it's nowhere near as gross as the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon ever was.

There's 3 stories inside. The first story has Oggy challenged to start off the New Year by tackling a new hobby. In this case- writing a crime noir. Then Oggy forces the cockroaches to clean up their messes main during a New Year's Eve bash to remember. Lastly, Oggy decides to catch up on some new year's correspondence. 

There's a couple of prose extras at the end of this book. Read on and you'll learn the resolutions of Oggy and his pals. If you are really good, you might have your letter answered from Santa!

My first experience with Oggy and the Cockroaches was a fun one. I did have a little trouble with how Oggy's nose is computer generated on top of pen and ink art. But aside from that distraction, this book was a great way to cap off the 2020 holiday season!

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
