Cover of MY NAME IS BENNY

MY NAME IS BENNY

by best friend Timothy, her neighbor Isaac, and her classmate Fae. The individual entries, which range from one to three pages, throw readers into Benny’s world with little introduction and feature short, often comedic moments from her interactions with peers. The humorous scenarios vary but primarily focus on a combination of Benny’s immaturity, laziness, and imaginative flights of fancy, which are often juxtaposed against the actions and responses of her friends. There’s not enough material in the fast\u002Dpaced stories to enthrall readers looking for belly laughs and deep witticisms, but those amused by slice\u002Dof\u002Dlife moments might enjoy meeting Benny and seeing her offbeat interactions. The artwork makes use of watercolorlike textures and tones and minimalist backgrounds. Some of the jokes seem to be aimed at older readers, such as references to infomercial pitchman Billy Mays and the marshmallow test and an incident involving a massage chair. Diehard fans of the web series may appreciate owning a book that collects many of Benny’s adventures. Characters are light\u002Dskinned and largely present white. "3.4/5(5)
