What is it About?A comic strip featuring animals promoting a greener world.
My Thoughts:
Mildly funny, I say mildly because it took until the middle of the book for the strip to really connect with the animals and most of the strips in the beginning were just intro to the characters. Some of the animals personalities really shine but others were hiding in the background. I am not sure the characters are remember-able enough that I would search out this comic strip everyday. I loved the artistry of the strip and and see the hard work put into it. I believe the same hard work was put into the writing but the writing is were it lacks a bit. I also feel near the end it spent a lot of time on one character (Raccoon) and I wanted to see all the character lives.
