Have you ever been Snarked? Well, I have...

Even as the character have a life their own on the page, this story is missing some of the manic energy of Langridge’s earlier work like Fred the Clown or even The Muppets. Because those comics were made up of short bursts of stories, sometimes even in one page, Langridge gave those books a real forceful energy that enveloped the reader as well as the characters. Snarked #4 is sadly missing some of that driving energy because it gets diluted as Langridge is working on a larger story. The lively characters are still there as is the humor but this book could use some of the propulsive power that kept his Muppets comics a lively read on every page. His previous work had a bang on nearly every page while Snarked is much more quieter and deliberate. It’s like his Thor: The Mighty Avenger work that way. The story builds up over the span of pages where his earlier humor work built up energy over the span of panels.
