Most of the time I choose the sample image in the hopes of summing up a comic in one picture. As this is an impossible task, I usually fail. But I do at least always choose an image that either makes me laugh or blows my mind in some way, and the image below does both things. Just take it all in, before I get started talking about the comic. What do you think the comic is about? It’s Tile (a character Maryanne has been using in online strips and regular comics for a lot of years) going off on an adventure with her flying elephant. She’s worried about running into pirates, which is where the sample image comes in. From there she learns that she’ll have to deal with the flower-trees and their minions, as they’re stealing all of the paperclips from the capybaras. A secret tunnel is discovered, and inside of that tunnel is something that can help them with their task… or not. It depends on whether or not they run into Souffle. Even if that happens, they still have options. Also, will hats be involved? I hate to spoil such a thing, but yes. Yes they will. One of the things I love about Maryanne’s comics is that they’re so very hers. I feel like if somebody handed me four unnamed pages of this comic in a row I’d be able to tell pretty quickly that it’s one of her comics. There’s action, a quest, and capybaras. What more do you need out of a book? $2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
