From the creative team of successfully syndicated cartoonist Bob Weber, Jr. (Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids) and Emmy(R) Award-winning creator Jay Stephens (The Secret Saturdays and Tutenstein) comes Oh Brother!, an original comic that readers young and old will relate to and enjoy.
Oh, Brother! stars the sibling duo of Bud and Lily, who humorously interact within the leafy confines of their middle-class suburban home and neighborhood. Whether they are playing together in the family room or running amuck in the schoolyard, Bud and Lily elevate the act of one-upmanship to Code Red levels. Lily is the quintessential slightly older yet far more sensible sister. She takes it upon herself to look after her uninhibited, prank-loving younger brother, Bud. While Lily wins the occasional battle with her cool-headed maturity, Bud is intent on winning the war with his brazen brand of mischief. Despite their obvious personality differences, Bud and Lily love each other deeply and have a strong sibling bond.
Pure and simple, Oh, Brother! speaks to the mischievous inner child that exists in all of us.
What makes Oh, Brother! unique?
With its original and innovative panel construction, Oh, Brother! is unlike any other on the comics page. The classic all-ages humor and the distinguished coloring and brush style give it a look and feel all its own. Readers will quickly come to know and love this one-of-a-kind new comic!
