I don’t know if I’m missing something or if it’s just not my sense of humor, but I didn’t find this hilarious, as Goodreads describes it. The purumus are cute, but I didn’t get a lot out of the stories. Yes, yes. I get the big thing that’s hinted at from the description on the back and confirmed in the last panel. But I still don’t feel wowed or even mildly entertained.
Looks like the comic has a big following online, and that makes me happy, because the author sounded warm and sweet in the intro.

Advance copy provided by a bookstore buddy. Wish I had liked it more.

I picked this up for fifty cents at a library book sale, and I have to say, I think I overpaid.

On a post-apocalyptic Earth, humans and all the rest of the mammals are gone, and wandering the ruins are little purple footstools who can eat anything and are generally friendly and kind to each other. Teletubbies of the wastelands, but just as dull as the regular Teletubbies.

It's sort of a tribute to Tribbles, but also in a variation on Disney's Little Mermaid, they collect some of the human stuff they don't eat and wonder as to what it was or wear it as an identifying hat. I wonder about this book, and perhaps if I wear it as a hat I'll get my money's worth out of it. ( )

I won a black & white print ARC from entering the Goodreads Giveaway.

This book is based on a webcomic, (same name). I have not seen it. I enjoyed the book and the thought provoking stories. I may have enjoyed it more had I been familiar with the webcomic. If you are interested in the book you may want to check that out first. I like the art though I wish it was in color. The stories were fun and quick to read but leave a lot for you to think about. I found it to be interesting but also comforting in a children’s book way. ( )

Advanced Reader’s Copy received from Baker & Taylor.

A delightful graphic novel that is refreshingly lighthearted and easy to read. "We Are Here Forever" takes place many years after humans have gone extinct, as well as several other species. The only creatures left on Earth are the Puramus, birds, and maybe a snake. The Puramus are small, purple creatures are nigh indestructible, adorably innocent, and carefree. This graphic novel hops about in different periods of time and space, with some short story arcs, so you get small glimpses of the history of these creatures, how they live, and where they come from. A quick and entertaining read, with cute art, and appropriate for all ages. Highly recommended. ( )
