A group of bored young people set out on one last summer wakeboarding adventure
before entering college or the fulltime workforce. Their quest for wondrous water
takes the group of friends to Lake Victoria, Arizona. An oasis in the desert
where one of the group’s uncles just happens to live…and he needs help running
the family marina for the summer. What follows is a reunion with a little girl
that has grown into a stunning young woman, an ambitious plan to save a bullied
marina from a snobby yacht club, and clashes with local authorities delight in
abusing their power!
This is a tale about coming of age set against the backdrop of summertime
fun, relationships, and responsibilities. The writing really develops the main
characters in a lot of detail. Throughout the storytelling the characters are further
defined and fleshed out as they encounter different situations and make
difficult decisions. As the story unfolds the characters’ individual
personalities take form and solidify their importance to the tale. The art in Shake
the Lake has a very distinct look. The backgrounds are highly detailed
and realistic. The settings make you believe the characters are really in a
lake town at the height of tourist season. The figure drawing also captures the
distinctive features of each character, bringing a consistent realism to them that
further grounds the comic in a believable setting.
