#Review: The World of Butterfingers by Khyrunnisa A.
The World of Butterfingers

Author: Khyrunnisa A.

I dived back into Butterfingers with the enthusiasm of someone fully prepared to embrace chaos—and I wasn’t disappointed. Amar Kishen, aka Butterfingers, is a lovable magnet for mishaps, and this jumbo comic edition delivers a triple scoop of trouble, hilarity, and accidental heroism. From honeybee rescues to haunted house mysteries, each story packs its own zany punch. And somehow, amidst all the stumbles, Butterfingers always manages to land on… well, not his feet, but close enough.
What I enjoy most about this series is that it never tries too hard to be funny—it just is. The humour is clean but clever, and the situations are absurd in the best way. That said, the plotlines are a bit outlandish (a bee rescue? a bank robbery? a Halloween heist?), so if you’re looking for realism, you may want to recheck your ticket. But if you’re in it for a lighthearted laugh and nostalgia-laced storytelling, this comic hits the sweet spot. It’s silly, smart, and exactly the kind of reading escape that both kids and adults (with a sense of humour) can enjoy.
