Both of the books he&#8217;s done so far should be taught in classrooms and there are very few people I can say that about. Anyway, the collected version of this book is much better than its parts. The cover is from #5 as I just read all of the issues in a row and there&#8217;s no image up for the cover yet on Amazon, if anybody cares. I think he did a much better job with this series of really making things entertaining for everybody too. I felt with Clan Apis that he was leaning towards writing for kids mostly, or maybe he was just getting the hang of things, but this is a much better effort all around. The appendix in the back of the book is invaluable too. It&#8217;s good to see that pile of books that I can show to absolutely everyone who&#8217;s interested in comics growing by leaps and bounds. It&#8217;s $14 on Amazon right now and well worth a look. The art has gotten crisper, the writing is downright adorable (I mean that in a scholarly, educational way, of course) and it just comes together really well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/sandwalk52.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"481\" height=\"746\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Sandwalk Adventures If this guy keeps this up (&#8220;this&#8221; meaning putting out a great all-ages graphic novel every couple of years) he might end up being the first famous educational cartoonist in the world.
