SpongeBob Comics isn't a title I buy on a regular basis. It's a title that I purchase maybe a couple of times a year or whenever the mood strikes. It is never a disappointment though, every issue of SpongeBob I have read has given me a few chuckles and has been worthwhile. There is normally a main story and several short backups of various degrees of quality. The reason I bought issue 49 was simply for the amazingly awesome cover art of Kelley Jones. Kelley is one of the best artists of monsters and monstrosities currently active in the comics field and I couldn't pass up this book when the cover caught my eye.
The main story in this issue is that Squidward has been hiding leftover Krabby Patties under a loose floorboard at the Krusty Krab for quite some time and somehow the burgers have congealed into a giant monster that is coming after him. The monster in the story is drawn by equally legendary monster artist Stephen Bissette. Great stuff! The rest of the issue consists of several short stories including a really good one called Monster Canyon. Typical SpongeBob goodness.
As I said, this isn't a title I buy every month, but it is really fun. If you enjoy SpongeBob Squarepants you should pick this up and give it a try. Check out that cover!
