They Can Talk: A Collection of Comics about Animals by Jimmy Craig
My rating: 3/5 cats
this one’s for greg!
this is another one of those alchemical transformations in which a wizard took an online thingie and turned it into a real book—poof!
it’s not a transmutation in which all 100 pages are the funniest thing ever, but there are plenty that made me laugh.
and while i do not personally know the author/illustrator, we share an opinion about a particular beloved beastie, which i discovered on his “about the author” page, because why yes, i DO read those:
His favorite animal is the red panda and he’s convinced that if you don’t know what a red panda is and take a second to look it up, it’ll be your favorite animal soon too.
truth.
my favorites are among the (many) cat-based pictures, which should come as no surprise:
also no surprise that i applaud the heroism of sharks:
and animals being jerks to other animals:
especially the jerkiest creatures of all—birrrrrrds:
it’s cute; i especially like the way he draws raccoons and the way the situations are sometimes specific to the animal kingdom:
and sometimes have behavioral crossover into our own:
it’s good for some ha-has; if you’re on the fence, check out the online comics, including this one that somehow didn’t make the cut because wizards make mistakes, too:

that’s all i need—SOLD!
