Blue Monday: Inbetween Days
Inbetween Days reprints different holiday-themed stories with the blue Monday characters by Chynna Clugston. “Dead Man’s Party” is set at Halloween. When the lights go out at a holiday party, the gang entertain themselves by telling horror stories. since they’re realistic teenagers, they come up with concepts by inserting themselves in their preferred movies as well as books.
The wide variety of influences utilized adds to the entertainment, though. There aren’t many comics that variety from zombie films to Gothic vampire romances to the Rocky horror photo show to Harvey-like giant rodent pookas. This is all challenging by Bleu being haunted by floating Jesus heads, reappearing from a graveyard experience in the very first book.
“Lovecats” is a like story where the youngsters concern about going to the Valentine’s Day dance. Flashbacks expose exactly how Clover as well as Bleu originally satisfied as well as exactly how much they’ve altered since. It’s my preferred in the book, since it shows the most about the characters’ genuine feelings, however so much of the fun is contained in the twists as well as turns that I don’t want to state as well much as well as spoil something.
In “Nobody’s Fool”, an irate Clover offers with St. Patrick’s Day, boys who won’t stop singing, as well as a convention of small eco-friendly men. In a second story, Victor hauls out his old goth drag for April Fool’s Day. Although he’s trying to cover for an embarrassing nostalgia trip, he winds up mesmerizing most of the women at school. The humor is top-notch, with the pet shamrock, the leprechaun altering room, as well as the ridiculous sight of a teenager lamenting exactly how quickly his youth is passing.
Also included is a short Blue Monday/Jingle Belle crossover story, “Blue Belles”. The more you understand about the gang, the more entertaining this all is. There’s a great deal happening as well as a great deal of references to bits of previous issues, particularly including the connections among the characters. Still, if you’re a new reader, there’s lots of goofy fun, teen teasing, as well as slapstick. With shorter stories, it’s likewise a great sampler for the series.
Absolute novices is the previous book in the series.
