Odds are if you've spent anytime online, you've seen a Manfried comic or two. The premise of the comics online is very simple, yet effective. They follow Steve Catson and his pet, Manfried. In this altered reality though, Steve is actually a cat, while the pet is a human. It's a fun little twist on things, and is the sort of humor that cat lovers in particular adore.
The graphic novels for Manfried are slightly different, however. These books contain one compete plot, as opposed to a series of quick events. It's a bit unexpected, but honestly they have been a lot of fun. I think they're absolutely worth buying and reading (and they'd make a great gift for the crazy cat lover in your life – trust me, I am one!).
Manfried Saves the Day was a fun and quirky read. It's hard not to adore Manfried and all his man friends, as well as the cats that take care of them. But this graphic novel brings things to a whole new level, showing us the good and the bad of owning cats and running shelters.
It was surprisingly emotional at times, but in a good way. I'm impressed by the amount of depth they were able to put into this series, as it always seems to lighthearted and relaxed. I ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting, simply because I absolutely had to know what was going to happen with the shelter.
I was also curious about Steve's plot as well. It was a fun twist to have him going along with that career, and I love just how far they pushed it. Though I'll confess that I got a bit defensive for him at times. I guess that just proves how invested I became in this plot!
I really enjoyed reading Manfried Saves the Day, and I'm looking forward to seeing more plots like this. I haven't heard if they're going to do more, but I sincerely hope so!
