The Lost Slipper and the Curse of the Ramsbottoms

Although it's sad to think that there may be no more Wallace and Gromit films (the animator, Nick Park, seems to be into other projects at the moment), this comic book captures a lot of the Wallace and Gromit spirit. There are a lot of wonderful little sight-gags (check out the titles of the books Gromit reads) and the storylines in the two adventures are similar in wackiness to those of the films. Still, it's a little disappointing not to get to see Wallace and Gromit _moving_, and you have to imagine Wallace's voice (though the authors did do a good job of conjuring up things he would be likely to say). There are a few rough spots, but in general it's a very good comic-type book, very funny and rereadable. If the Aardman folks don't see fit to make more Wallace and Gromit films, I hope there will at least be more "adventures" like this.
