They change up words, they interact the way you expect them to, and everyone has the right kind of personality for their characters. He had all the babies present and their speech mannerisms were perfect. Tommy’s story was the most like the original Rugrats. Susie’s story is very cutesy and focused as more of a fantasy fairytale, with herself as the main character and no one else present. The art has very clean lines and bright colors, and overall you can tell that it is supposed to look at least a little more mature than Lil’s. I’ve always thought that the doll looked weird, so the partially grotesque look she has in terms of her face and hair are actually pretty fitting. As expected, Phil won’t let Lil get through her story smoothly, and twin antics ensue.Īngelica, as always, thinks she can do better and proceeds to tell a story that involves Cynthia, her favorite doll. Sarah Webb went for a style that reflects childish drawing, and while it isn’t necessarily bad, it isn’t the best I’ve seen the style done, and it makes the kids’ faces look really bizarre at times. Lil’s story is the one I had the most trouble digesting. The artwork for his story seems to be most alike to the original show in style, but apart from color and subject. Grandpa Stu’s story involves war and Reptar as a standard mysterious monster that you encounter in the middle of nowhere. The power has gone out in the Pickles house, so Tommy’s dad has gone to fix it, and after Grandpa Stu tells the kids half of a story, the kids argue about how Reptar really is amongst one another through storytelling. Grandpa Stu, Lil, Susie, Angelica, and Tommy each tell their own story. There are five stories, all illustrated by different artists and told by different characters. What this comic does is has a few of the main characters tell different stories that include Reptar in them. This comic is a one-shot that centers on Reptar, but at the same time, it doesn’t. There have been rumors of Nickelodeon planning to revive the show, but for now, at least, we can keep enjoying the comics. This comic half hits the mark for me, and I can’t say it glows with the same shine as the original cartoon did when it aired. What I’m saying is, I know what to expect from a Rugrats story. I really enjoyed Rugrats, enough to have two video games on two different consoles and played them regularly. Although my family didn’t have cable while I was growing up, I had both Rugrats feature-length films on VHS (I’m really dating myself now, huh?). The original Rugrats television show went off the air just over ten years ago.
