5.0 out of 5 stars Flink is great., December 2, 2007
By Ben O. (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
If Doug's second to latest book, 'Black Cherry', wasn't your cup of tea then 'Flink' should be right up your alley. Similar to his book 'Tommysaurus Rex', Tennapel tells a simple story about a kid and his large, not human, friend. In this case, that friend happens to be a Bigfoot named Flink.

Doug's art is at its most commercial here (and I mean that in the best possible sense). The main character, Conrad, looks like he's about to leap off the page and into an animated movie. And if there is any fairness in the world, that will be the case. The inks are clean and crisp when they need to be and messy when they need to be.

The story is simple, and the pacing moves the story along at a good clip. It's a story made for everyone, no matter how young or old. Like the rest of Tennapel's graphic novels, this is a must own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet adventure tale of Boy Meets Bigfoot..., December 6, 2008
By Mir (North Miami Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Only the simplicity of the tale itself warranted me taking away one star. Otherwise, we have the sort of excellent art and heartwarming speculative tale one expects from Doug TenNapel.

In this one, I got a big kick that the boy looked so much like my nephew--the sticky up hair, the big dark eyes, the obsession with portable video game player. :)

Story: A boy and his father, on a Bigfoot finding expedition, have a crash landing. Survival--and how it relates to the particular bigfoot in question--is the immediate concern. But this morphs into a tale of friendship...and learning that the "other" may not be as bad as one may assume.

There is danger. There is humor. There is generosity and self-sacrifice. It's a nice wee tale.

Doug does a great job of making the boy and Bigfoot likable. He has a way of telling a visual story, and I always look forward to his next work. And one of his main thematic preoccupations (the relationship of boys and their fathers/father-figures) is at play here, too.

If you have a young person on your Christmas list who likes comic books, and you want a nice tale without offensive material, this one, with its very sweet ending, is a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another great Tennapel tale, January 1, 2008
Doug Tennapel shows his versatility as a master storyteller, making a quick 2007 return from Black Cherry earlier the same year. Whereas Black Cherry was a seedy noir gangster tale (and Doug's most "R rated" book to date), Flink takes us back to the kind of all-ages adventure he established earlier with Tommysaurus Rex.

It wouldn't be a Tennapel book without CREATURES. Flink is no exception, centering its setting around the race of "Bigfoot" creatures, of which the title character is one. The other main character is a boy who befriends him. Both are coping with recent losses, and the father-son theme that permeates Tennapel's work has never been more evident.

This is Doug's breeziest book to date, comfortably read in a single sitting. Pacing is snappy and there are fewer characters and less dialogue than his other tales. Buy it and share it with your family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reading for Dads and Sons...
I can see how the fast pacing and low page count of Flink could disappoint fans of Doug TenNapel's GN's -- TenNapel is such a fantastic storyteller that you don't want his stories... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything's Right Except for the Pacing
Flink is one of Doug's best stories and it sits right next to Iron West as having the best artwork of all of his books. The only problem is that the pacing is way too fast. Read more

I love Doug TenNapel. Perhaps my platonic love for him borders on obsessive, or maybe my expectations were too high; but either way, I wasn't as excited by Flink as I've been... Read more
