I knew it was going to be cute and funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting the level of emotions I experienced while reading this graphic novel. Instead of being a series of short stories or one-shot comics, this is a full-fledged story about these two wonderful and adorable characters. Manfried the Man is the story of Manfried and his cat owner (Steve Catson). The flip is pretty hilarious, and I’m impressed by how far Caitlin Major and Kelly Bastow are willing to take it at times. So Manfried is basically this naked little dude (a tabby one, to boot), running around acting in manners that we would expect from a normal cat while his owner, Steve is a cat the goes to work in order to afford his pet the best man food he can get. This is a world where cats are anthropomorphized and humans are pets. I should probably take a moment to explain the Manfried comics a little bit. For the sake of honesty I’m going to tell you that I was expecting this to be a compilation of the comics I’ve seen online. I’ve been a fan of the Manfried the Man comics for ages, so when I saw that there was a book coming out with the same title I knew I had to give it a try. I received a copy of Manfried the Man from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. Author/Artist: Caitlin Major, Kelly Bastow
