Mehso-so

I kind of imagined this as a Scooby Apocalypse style retelling in which Strawberry Shortcake channels Veronica Mars 😍 Alas! A cute collection of issues from the recent reboot but only one is noirish. Young readers who enjoy frenemy drama and cooking competitions would probably like it. #mommyreads #allages #comics

Bklover That looks yummy! 6y
Tamra Is there any diversity amongst the characters represented? 6y
alanacristin @Tamra not really. It's ambiguous at best. Orange Blossom is darker skinned, but everyone else is incredibly fair. I thought a few characters could maybe read Asian but the overall whiteness stands out. I'm honestly not super familiar with the original characters anymore (i was more of a rainbow brite girl 🌈) more info here though: https://strawberryshortcakeberrybitty.fandom.com/wiki/Comic_Books 6y
alanacristin @Bklover thanks! My son and I are indulging in all the berries while we're here in the States 🍓😋 they're super expensive in Japan where we live. 6y
Tamra @alanacristin thank you for the heads up! 6y
