There are also  plenty of little musical numbers, some of which work and some of which  don&#8217;t. Lot&#8217;s of little mostly funny one-page gag strips too. I think you  can see that the art is phenomenal, so I shouldn&#8217;t have to do much  convincing there. The writing is mostly good too. It has a playful,  whimsical style to it, while still being a little bit harsh at times  (the humor, that is. Don&#8217;t think that this would be a wonderful book for  kids or anything, although it&#8217;s never too gross).
