When you take a look at Good bye, Chunky Rice with it s almost comical style of illustrations and cute, talking animal characters, for the first time, you will be almost duped into believing that this is a children s book and give it a pass this nearly happened for me After reading through a few pages, I was so engrossed in this tale of friendship, loss and longing for lost companions in life, that I sat still for a long time after finishing the book contemplating and choking over emotions that [...]
Graphic Novel of the DecadeI read this book with a music in my mind Those musical notes were melancholic and were not from an earphone bud Rather, it was from the plucked strings of my aching heart that vibrated with each stroke of the strip drawn by Craig Thompson.Good Bye, Chunky Rice, was written in the year 1999 as the first work of Craig Thompson which won him the Harvey Award for Best New Talent I read the last page and sat for a long time contemplating the transience of all Friendship bon [...]
I have mixed feelings about Craig Thompson s debut graphic novel, winner of the 2000 Harvey Award for Best New Talent On the one hand, the plot is very slim tiny turtle boy with huge bug eyes hardly says a word but inexplicably decides to leave his hometown, only to be treated as a punching bag by the people he encounters Nothing to write home about On the other hand, it is already obvious that Craig Thompson is a very gifted cartoonist who knows how to visually engage the reader In the words of [...]
This is Chunky Rice He is a turtle, which means he carries his home on his back He is meant to travel the world.This is Dandel, the deer mouse who loves and is loved by Chunky Rice But Chunky will be leaving soon, which causes both of them pain.The relationship between Chunky and Dandel is not the only precious one in this book There is also Solomon, the lonesome, elementary tongued bachelor who nurses a bird named Merle back to health after his wing feathers are mysteriously chewed off And Livo [...]
You know that feeling when you see something for the first time, and it perfectly defines an undefinable emotion Like the first time you heard Pink Floyd s Great Gig in the Sky Same thing here This book manages to completely encapsulate that raw loss of friends, of family, of innocence, of whatever while going to seek your fortune I don t want to sound corny, but it s like an elegy to what you leave behind in order to get to your future.
A book full of tenderness, of loving and saying goodbye.
Hm Where to begin let s start with the good.Solomon s dialect This is the only thing giving the book any sense of place As no place is ever mentioned except the fictional Kahootney Islands, it was nice to have an anchor, even if it was only a gulf coast Louisiana accent that did it Solomon s dialect also made him one of the endearing characters, in my opinion Also, the book is well drawn While I find some of the transitions and juxtapositions gimmicky, it was overall good in that respect Speaki [...]
As good as Blankets but in a different way I m interested in how Thompson deals with disability, and this book addresses it in even direct ways than Blankets About a turtle improbably named Chunky Rice, who is perhaps even improbably best friends with a mouse named Dandle Chunky Rice moves away from his home and away from Dandle, meeting a crew of what should be misfits on the boat that takes him far away from his friend Unexpectedly, the book ends up being a really profound exploration of fri [...]
This felt under developed to me We don t really see enough of Chunky and Dandel s relationship to really feel the sense of it ending People ask Chunky why he s leaving, and he always just says I don t know well, maybe if we knew why he had to leave, we d have felt sympathy for him having to leave his best friend, but we don t, so I just wondered whether he really needed to go at all I couldn t feel sorry for him if it didn t seem necessary for him to go.Another thing if you re going to put somet [...]

No Not the characters or the art or the writing Or the story, what there was of it And what there was of it was basically a downer No great insight, no small insight And yet it won an award and people apparently like it Clearly I m missing something.
I think it s through my own ignorance that I assume I won t enjoy graphic novels It s easy to feel like a better, mature reader when there are, at least, an absence of pictures However, sometimes it s because of these predispositions that we find ourselves so pleasantly surprised to find out how very wrong we were.My cousin gifted this book to me on my most rest visit to her and I brought it home with a begrudging disinterest However, there was a curious tug in my heart that knew she had given [...]
What makes Good bye, Chunky Rice such a great book what makes all of Craig Thompson s books great, for that matter is how relatable it is.The story follows Chunky Rice, a turtle who is leaving home Most of us have moved to other places in our lives and lost friends, or we ve had friends move away In the days before social networking, these departures could mean good bye forever Thompson turns an unlikely journey featuring talking animals into something emotional powerful and poignant I had goose [...]
I found a couple of obstacles to get past with this graphic novel First was the art I was a bit put off by it at the start Thompson uses a very cartoony style here, and it makes his characters almost caricatures at times But it works And occasionally the reader will come upon a large picture, full page or nearly, which is stunning in its beauty and detail Secondly, the dialogue Some of the characters talk in such a dialect that it s hard to make sense of at first glance But it really just made m [...]
Given to me as a going away present by shamelessly emotionally manipulative friends, whose goal was clearly to make me bawl like a baby and turn me into a blubbering wreck Well, mission fucking accomplished Every page of this book is heartbreaking and filled with loss, drowning and the sounds of the ocean Such simple storytelling style and barely any dialogue, but you re holding your breath for everyone to just be okay My only complaint is my strong belief, that there should ve been at least ano [...]
Sadly, I didn t enjoy this one as much as I hoped to The art felt chaotic and the story was all over the place I didn t care for the characters or the story at all And the only reason why I am giving this 2 stars is because the two main characters look so freaking adorable That s a pretty lame argumentation, eh Anyway, I will give Craig Thompson a second chance I am really looking forward to check out Habibi Blankets And hopefully I will enjoy them .
I found this book rather confusing to follow but excellent nonetheless Every character, from Chunky Rice himself to the people he meets in his travels, are all loveable and memorable The book is in black and white graphic novel format, beautifully detailed with vivid text and a tragic at first but ultimately amazing story of friendship, love, imagination and adventure.
A poignant comic about loss Told through the eyes of a turtle and a deer mouse with eyes to large and adorable for her own good When one says goodbye there is a separation, from that separation a boundless emptiness and sadness forms People missing people Turtle misses a mouse misses a turtle Instead of saying goodbye I ll say see you soon.
So this is about leaving and being left , and longing I get that I ve done the leaving and longing thing, a few times, in fact Despite that, I didn t really connect with much in this story Maybe if I knew why Chunky was leaving or if Chunky even knew why he was leaving the not knowing I can understand to some extent, but it was so glossed over that it seemed careless Or maybe if I had backstory on him and Dandel Or maybe if there weren t a bunch of quirky characters I don t care about.Because i [...]
A well drawn book about the relationship between Chunky, a male turtle and Dandel, a female mousedeer I m not sure whether they had a fall out or something, but Chunky leaves for some reason Right up to the end, I honestly didn t get what this book was all about.Throw in a bunch of other quirky supporting characters, things get confusing I don t see the point.In addition to weird words like assistacize , passengerize and others I had a hard time trying to figure out Solomon s dialect, the guy i [...]
Dawno nie czyta em czego tak banalnego i denerwuj cego Nie pierwszy raz Thompson broni si fajn kresk , a wyk ada na fabule Do tego t umaczenie, z tym niby slangiem, dra ni jak ma o co Nie wiem dla kogo ten komiks, wi c nie polecam nikomu.
Craig Thompson apparently wrote a book for children It is also for children But it appeals to grown ups, because it spans life, simply, all ages.In a small provincial town, Chunky Rice, the turtle, leaves his best friend deermouse Dandel back home, while setting out on the sea to see the world, destination the Kahootney islands His kindhearted and feeble minded neighbor Solomon shows him a little bird Merle whom he found injured, then helps Chunky with the boxes down to the harbor to his brothe [...]

Several moments of this book are excellent, bordering on extraordinary, yet others don t work, possibly due to lack of character detail I want to revisit this in a few months and see if I feel or less connected to the book.
Craig Thompson s first graphic novel, Good Bye, Chunky Rice is dedicated to his friends back in Milwaukie, Wisconsin See, he grew up there and then decided to move to Portland, Oregon No doubt it s tough to leave the only place you ve ever known, for the unknown Saying goodbye is hard, especially to that special someone who makes you question if this is for the best in the first place And that s what the story of Chunky Rice is all about Chunky Rice is a cute little boy turtle, and he s leaving [...]
I love Craig Thompson His style of drawing just draws me into his stories In this Novel, we meet a mouse and a tortoise turtle not sure which Chunky Rice the turtle has big dreams and wants to move away from where he currently lives He makes travel arrangements goes on a boat ride Its a cute simple storyline with nice characters, I particularly enjoyed the depth insight that came from the mouse Craig Thompson writes about friendship in such a relatable way that as readers we can all completely c [...]
I enjoyed parts of this unique and somewhat depressing tale about a turtle named Chunky Rice and his dearest companion, a little deer mouse named Dandel Chunky, for no logical reason that he can explain to Dandel, or to himself, for that matter, feels that he needs to leave his best friend behind so that he can travel to the Kahootney Islands Besides Dandel, Chunky leaves behind his friend from the boarding house he lives in, Solomon and Solomon s new buddy, an injured bird named Merle On board [...]
It s clear from the title and cover of Good Bye, Chunky Rice that it s a horse of a different color No really, the pages are black with white illustrations and it s beautiful The story follows a turtle named, Chunky Rice, who has grown restless in his life and is setting out for a change of scenery, despite the challenge of leaving his best friend, Dandel He encounters many people on his journey, confronts many challenges, and never gives up on his quest despite the yearning for the old and fami [...]
After reading Craig Thompson s book, Blankets, I had to read Chunky Rice I ran home and immediately dug in Why am I reading about a mouse and a turtle I put it down figuring I had adjust my expectations note to self be careful of Indiana Jones Crystal Skull A few days later, I picked it back and was rather charmed by this book a goodbye between friends You will have to suspend belief that you have a turtle and a mouse being friends and they interact in the human world like Alvin the Chipmunks I [...]
Odd, fascinating little book Chunky Rice why is that his name who knows is a little turtle who decides he needs to leave where he lives and find somewhere new he leaves behind his mouse lover I assume, anyway they sleep together to do so, and sails away with an odd crew including a pair of conjoined twins Meanwhile, a lexically impaired guy bemoans the loss of the bird he nursed back to health Very strange little book, aiming for importance and profundity nothing says I am a serious artist like [...]
