Looks Silly, Packs Some Depth

4 stars

I didn't think something like this would get me to tear up or to stop and ponder a line from one of the characters, but here I am.

The art is wonderful (micron pen on paper, scanned and colored digitally), expressive, and fun.

The story is mostly silly, but that is a function of being from the point of view of Buster, a rather naive young housecat.

It touches on personal growth, grief, and the importance of relationships, both with friends and our pets.

Really wonderful, and looking forward to the second book.
