For a comic whose subject matter is devoted to the cutesy foibles of little pasquale and his mom and dad, Rose is Rose contains astonishingly complex and emotionally detailed characters. The humor is crammed with subtle intelligence and the artwork is exploratory and stimulating to look at all by itself. I am someone who has a low threshhold for smarm, but somehow the inhabitants in pasquale's little world have gotten under my skin and make me feel all warm and fuzzy./

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh at life with Pat Brady and crew in a License to Dream., March 20, 1998

By A Customer

Let Pat Brady give you a peek into the lives
Rose Gumbo and family in a License to Dream!
This book presents everyday life in a typical
household in a not-so-typical manner.

Rose is a housewife and mother who has a alter
ego of a biker chick. Jimbo is the father who
is still little boy at times.
Pasquale is a child with his own guardian
angel and Peekboo is a cat who is constantly
amazed by the antics of his humans.

A License to Dream will give you chuckle when
you read it and perhaps inspire some dreams
of your own!

A Rose is Rose collection to please any fan. This book pays particluar attention to Pasquale's Dream Ship and his adventures in it and also features 2 strips featuring the Amazing Perplexkin which crack me up everytime. This and "She's a Momma not a Movie Star" are must reads.
