A really fun graphic novel! It is a collection of humorous short comic strips that slowly unfolds complex characters and a compelling narrative. I will be looking forward to the next installment.

Dad: Daddy's Girls #1 by Nob is a graphic novel. Being a single dad is a full-time job, as Dad knows only too well! Especially with four headstrong daughters to whom obedience doesn't exactly come naturally. There is bookish Pandora, emotional Ondine, mischievous Roxanne and, the latest addition, baby Bella. Dad is an unemployed actor who has landed himself the role of a lifetime: looking after his family!

Dad: Daddy's Girls #1 is a well drawn and written graphic novel that tells the story of a single dad of four girls, all with different mothers. I like that the problems the dad and his girls face are real- boys, privacy, getting along. I also like that while they all tease and give each other grief it is obvious that not only does the dad love his girls and sacrifice everything for them, they love him just as much. The varied personalities and day in the life situations, with glimpses of the past, made for a sweet read. I like that their lives are not perfect, but they find a way to make it work, and despite the bickering all love each other and keep moving forward. I liked the art, and found that it matched the tone and added the right amount of emotion and humor on every page.

I always prefer slice-of-life graphic novels (or comics in this case) to any other genre and this one was a perfect read for a downer day.

One father, four daughters. As a man in a similar family situation told me, “I have no idea what god I offended.” Don’t know if it helps or hurts that they each have different mothers. (Though I have no doubt some male readers are pounding their chests with a V sign and muttering, “Respect!”)
Though not in traditional comic strip form, there’s one mini-story per page, with about eight panels each, usually pitting man against girls. You can guess who wins most of the battles. Luckily it’s all pretty good-natured.
A heart attack scare means he wins. . . until he finds out he has to take suppositories.
My favorites are the athletic little redhead and the baby who, even when she can’t walk, beats the old man at a dance video game.
Things can be tough for a teenaged girl—or younger—when her middle-aged father’s an actor in commercials; bad enough he’s the Sniffle Guy, but modeling underwear. . .
I can commiserate with him about putting together kids’ toys feeling like building a log cabin, but I’m glad he didn’t complain about reading to all his daughters, not just the baby.
“I admit it. I’m not the perfect father you thought I was.” Truer words. . .
Despite the sometimes-not-so-playful acrimony, there’s an underlying gentle sweetness to it all. Makes it more than worthwhile.
And if I ever meet a woman named Pandora, I’m definitely calling her Panda. . .

More of a webcomic collection than a true graphic novel. It's a series of jokes with a shared cast of charcters, not a continued plot. It's a fun collection.

Dad: If Homer Simpson didn't have Marge but four daughters and integrity instead

When I saw a comic about single dads, I jumped at the chance to read about something that is rarely portrayed in books and comics, despite its prevalence.

In this comic, we follow a man and his four daughters through their daily life and some glimpses into their past. Although the genre of the comic is comedy/slice of life, there is so much commentary here about the trials and tribulations of not only a single dad, but what his daughters have gone through in life and are still going through.

Despite its short length of around 50 pages, this comic provides such an in-depth view of every character. This is such a cartoonish but beautifully illustrated little gem. It's so charming. There's no story, just some non-linear comics that go on for a page or three, but many which intersect and give little tantalising details into the life of this unique family.

Each of the girls has her own quirks, likes and dislikes. I particularly like Roxanne, the little ginger who loves superheroes. There's an extremely cute sequence where he reads a bedtime story to every single one of his daughters, despite two of them being young adults/teenagers.

Each of his daughters is very different and he works extremely hard to take care of them. The comic is also not sunshine and rainbows - the dad and his kids fight (and there's infighting between the girls) but in the end, they do what they can do get through the day and enjoy life.

And hey, the dad is an old school grump but he's a great person. It's quite sad when you find out how he lost his wives and how he's been trying to cope as a struggling actor. There's a beautiful, beautiful sequence about each of the girls giving him a father's day present at younger ages.

I recommend this comic to anyone who enjoys endearing stories about unique families, as well as some gorgeous illustrations.

'Dad Vol. 1: Daddy's Girls' by Nob is a series of short comics about a single father raising 4 very different girls ranging in age from a toddler up to an older teenager.

Dad is raising baby Bella, sporty Roxanne, boy crazy Ondine and bookworm Pandora. The house is usually messy as Dad tries to get the girls to clean, or because Dad just wants to be lazy and sleep. The girls do the usual sibling things like snoop in each other's diaries. There is a mom that shows up at some point, but it's clear that she and Dad are separate and Dad is left to raise the kids. There are funny moments, but also some touching ones as well.

The art style is very much like comic strips, with the characters having exaggerated looks. I liked the art as well as the color choices. The book had quite a few moments I found touching as Dad reflects on a career he doesn't have, and the daughters that are growing up way too fast.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

A reasonable spread of one-page comic strips concerning a failed actor and his four daughters. They were kind of amusing enough, but I wanted more – clearly there are enough readers of this back in France, as there are at least four such collections. Oddly this one has the strips in a very different order to the original paging in the artwork, but when you get an ongoing thread (such as Fathers Days through the years) things come to life a bit more. You get more than a little stereotyping, but also more than the usual quality in the painterly artwork.

I really enjoyed Dad and it reminded me of Lou! a lot. It kind of looks the same too, but it's still different. So, basically we have a dad and his four daughters of different ages. Supposedly dad is a single parent and the mom without maternal instincts is absent or rarely seen as she is the mayor. Basically the comic consists of smaller stories of dad's family life and what he encounters with all his kids. Dad is very approachable and wonderful as a character, an actor, who's career is basically passe, but he kind of wishes it's not, even though he's gained weight and gotten grey hair. Dad is a humorous comic, but there's life and heart in it and I think all the fathers can relate to him. All the girls are personas and because they are of different ages, we get to see different situations with all of them. This makes the comic very rich in content.

The color world is pastel and very cute and wonderful altogether. It's a great counterpart to the fact that the comic is realistic and thoughtful at the same time without being too ordinary. The interesting line work along with slightly altering colors breathes air into the comic and Dad surely looks wonderful. This first part isn't too long either, which is good, since in a way the content is heavy even though it doesn't look that way. The snippet type of approach works very well.

This was incredibly cute! I loved the characters and the art a lot. I also really liked the little stories, the made me smile.

First let me Thank Netgalley for this digital copy. I just loved this graphic novel. It follows the life of a single dad and his girls. I giggled just reading how the girls played so many tricks on their dad and how did to them as well. I loved Panda! I plan on reading the rest of this series. The illustrations are amazing. I highly recommend this to everyone of all ages.

I really adored the story of Panda (Pandora) and Dad. But, the rest seemed to be predictable and a little contrived.

Wow, this is so completely awful and condescending I don't know where to start with it. I remember when comics were positive. This is utter drivel!!

With the help of great artwork this well scripted comic book is a must for any Dad with Father’s Day a short time away.
Dad is simple a serious of set pieces in the hectic and often chaotic parenting regime of a single parent with 4 daughters. Each girl has a wonderful personality and manages to twist their Dad around their little fingers.
Simple drawings manage to convey feelings and humour and some of the lines thrown away in the piece are masterpieces of humour.
“Sometimes I wonder whether man really is evolving” When Dad meets flat pack hell.
“I hope plots not the beginning of Alzheimer’s!” When Dad can’t help with Maths homework after bigging-up his own school prowess in the subject.
I love the family dynamic and the love they have for each other while full of mischief and pranks.
I love the running jokes like when PJ comes a calling.
An amusing story with real insight into parental love and the sacrifices made for children.

I will be adding a review to all the places 2 weeks before the release date.

I received this comic from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

When I saw the book on Netgalley I just had to check it out, and then I read the blurb and wanted the book even more. This comic is all about a single dad. He has 4 girls to take care of ranging from almost adult to baby. As you can imagine, no easy task.

This comic chronicles the lives of this single dad and all he does in a day. From going outside with his youngest and play in the the park to comforting his second-oldest when she has love problems (though you should never read someone's diary). It was just fabulous see him do so many things for his kids. I had a laugh so many times (like when Bella burped all over her sister and dad didn't notice, or when he first read to the baby and then ended up reading to all of his girls (yes, even the oldest)). He is just such a fun, kind dad.

I am curious about the girl's mothers. We see Panda/Pandora's mom around, twice during the now-time, and one longer comic taking place in the past (when we find out that she didn't want custody of her kid due to classes/her job). But we don't see anything about baby Bella, Ondine, or Roxane's. I wonder why all the women left this poor guy and how they managed to stay around for long enough to get a kid (or did they immediately get a kid?). Then again, maybe they were all turned off by the fact that he doesn't work (or at least has a bad run with his acting career)/seems quite lazy? Then again, given how young Bella is (still a tiny baby) you would think that that mom would know about it. :P So yeah, I am curious. Maybe we will see some more about the moms in the next volume (as I am guessing there will be more volumes).

I did like that the book didn't only show us the now, but also flashed back to when the girls were much younger. Like with the Father's Day comic. He clearly remembered the gifts he got from his little ones (and the chaos it brought in one case). Plus it was fun to see that the dad didn't always look the way he does now.

I have to say that I didn't always like the girls and how they treated their dad. I get that they were mostly joking, but at times it was just a bit too painful. He does try his best for them, and yes, sure he has his failures, but then again, he is just human.

But all in all, this comic will definitely make you laugh, giggle, and root for this single dad. I also loved the art, the style was just perfect. I would recommend this one!
