Comics Review: Spongebob Comics #53

Spoilers Below

Shake-O-Rama

An earthquake splits “Bikini Bottom” in two which lets Spongebob and a lot of people go exclusively to the Chum Bucket while the Krusty Krab services a different half. Unfortunately, both sides grow restless and start talking about building a bridge, but when Plankton tries to destroy the construction site with Spongebob’s help, the rift left by the earthquake is healed and Bikini Bottom is back to normal.

Spongefunnies

Patrick’s a movie critic, but is unable to give a thumb score because he doesn’t have thumbs. That and he’s probably good to sleep through the movie.

Rocks-in-the-Head Collection

Patrick and Spongebob sport a much healthier pile of rocks than the competition.

Choice of Word

Pickle

Got a Match

Spongebob wants to wear matching clothes with Gary and does so successfully.

Sea Cucumbers

We learn the anatomy of a sea cucumber which is nothing like a real cucumber.

Our Take

Shake-O-Rama was an ok story, but I couldn’t help but think we could have gotten a bigger and better story had we not had so many strips this time around. Not that they were terrible, just that everything seemed pretty standard this month with nothing really sticking out as overtly tantalizing. In any case, we get something to hold us over until the new episode of Spongebob Squarepants premieres on Nick next Monday.
