Chad the Fat Kid...

Here's a short review for up and comer Chad the Fat Kid. Created by Erik Hodson, the comic tells the chubby tale of Chad and his obese adventures in school and other aspects of his life. Updates come, as it says on the site, "every fat kid Friday".

The art was charming with it's well drawn characters and plentiful backgrounds always giving you a good sense of the surroundings. Chad for some reason doesn't have pupils, which I thought was a little creepy looking, but other than that he's a force to be sympathized with. Of course, he does seem to be a bit of a pervert. Anyway, good distinctive art.

The writing in Chad is good and represents the double chin in all of us. I myself was overweight in high school so I can understand some of Chad's sweaty dilemmas all too well. I especially liked the one where he and his friend Lyle pause Street Fighter 2 to see Chun Li's panties. NICE. Not that I ever did that...ahem...Funny jokes, real situations, at least some of them, and good characters.

Chad the Fat Kid(I love that title) is going places. If it can keep the momentum it has going so far without running out of jokes revolving around a cherubic protagonist, then it can only climb upward. With that said, it's very early in it's run, so we'll just have to check back in in a few months. Go ahead and grab a slice, no, make that four or five slices of pizza, a large Coke, and some ice cream, and make a pit stop at Chad the Fat Kid. It won't hurt you as much as that high cholesterol count...

I give this comic...
