(Drawn & Quarterly) Coupling
depictions of a conspiracy and a
workspace culture (which are both dire, insidious and crushing) with cartoon
animal characters that are slapstick prone, charmingly weird, and adorably
rendered gives the effect of Office Space
meets The Manchurian Candidate meets
the Mr. Men books. More than anything
this invokes the moments in Richard Scarry books when Mr. Frumble’s flyaway hat
would spark disaster or those disobedient pig children would cause chaos, taken
to a level where murder, kidnapping, and gunplay are possible outcomes. In
other words, if your kids are naughty pigs, this is the ideal children’s book,
and for all other species, this is a perfect read for delight-hungry deviants
of all ages.
