Dog Man meets SpongeBob in Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop, a fast-paced and funny middle grade graphic novel series about the latest and greatest crimefighting duo! Meet Clawsome: lobster, crime fighter, and all-round badass, and his partner Stariana, the sharpest and smartest starfish in all of Caper Cove! Follow the dynamic duo as they fight such denizens of the deep as the Catfishburglar, Chowderhead, and the Brain Sturgeon. Crime doesn’t pay in Caper Cove with Officer Clawsome and his partner, Stariana, on the case. Just ask the notorious Catburglarfish―she’ll confirm. But when the beloved bakery Kelpy’s Kelpcakes goes missing and rumors begin swirling about shark sightings for the first time in a hundred years, the duo is about to find themselves claw-deep in a mystery for the ages. Will this dynamic duo save the day yet again, or have the citizens of Caper Cove eaten their last Kelpcake…for good?

In the opening scene a fish peddler (the fish is the peddler, not the goods) calls out âFresh fruit here! Get your freshâ¦â only to have something âZOOOM!â past and purée all his oranges and apples. Momentarily at a loss, the peddler looks down at the soupy mess, only to, one panel later, start smiling again calling out, âFresh fruit juice here! Get your fresh fruit juice.âComic genius? Not on its own, but just like a good dad-joke (are there any other kind?) the hilarity builds with every one you layer on top. And there are oodles here, including some awful/awesome puns, starting with the hero of our story, the lobster cop âOfficer Clawsome,â called âClawfulâ by the villains he arrests.Like any good cop/buddy flick, Clawsome has a partner, the starfish Stariana who serves as both his badge of office, riding around on his chest, and as his ninja throwing star when needed. When the townâs favorite bakery goes missing â the whole building, staff and all, are just gone â the twosome have to take on a whole host of underwater villains including Catburglarfish, the wrestler Masked Mussel, Brain Sturgeon, the Electric Eel, and a giant mechanized shark. Itâs all sorts of action, with all sorts of cinematic cliches thrown in just for dad to enjoy too â the best is the massive explosion in the background with Clawsome and Stariana strutting in the foreground.One reviewer called this a âsafe grandma buying read for the grandkidsâ and Iâd agree. No cautions needed â this is just good clean, very silly fun. And itâs so good that even though it weighs in at 200+ pages, your kids wonât have had enough. Unfortunately, at this point there isnât a sequel.But one can hope!
4.5 stars rounded up – review from a 9yo whoâs a big fan of DogMan, Bunny vs monkey, Looshkinâ¦.
May son and I are big fans of the artist of this book, which is why we bought it. I havenât read it, but my son has, and he says the writing is amazing and he is a huge fan. He can’t wait for the next book!
I bought this book because my family and I are big fans of Chris Giarrusso work. This book delivered and in a big way not just for me but for my youngest daughter! Jokes were on point, pacing great and really grabs your attention. It’s a fun read that immediately has me ready to pre-order volume 2.
