I honestly didn't expect much from this going in, solely based on the cover (I know, I know....) but it is unexpectedly spectacular - a real banger. I expected something more DogMan-esque with childish vulgar goofiness (read: fart jokes), but instead I got a charmingly ridiculous, wholesome story with fun art.

Ridiculous at every turn. Pretty funny stuff. Definitely one of the best opening lines in a comic book.

This rocked, and far exceeded even my high expectations going into it. I don't feel like I can say much without spoiling it, but I can say: Comedy! Animal friends! High jinks! Commitment to scientific accuracy!

Reading comics with Oliver.

This one is great. All the characters were interesting individually, and the art was really well done. There are careful details throughout (like when August plugged in the USB drive in the hat, she did it during the action scene, not just a flashback!). I’m sure there are other such details that I missed, and that welcomes a re-read.

The villain is an evil baby. There’s a talking robot litter box, and a squirrel who loves peanut butter smoothies. Oh, and the dog is actually cats.

Really enjoyed this one (more so maybe because I’m following another graphic novel I didn’t like, but I like it enough to seek out the rest of the series)
