Actual rating: 3.5 stars
My first read by the famous cartoonist Jason. I can see why he's so revered - the art in this slim anthropomorphic murder mystery was amazing.
The reason this didn't quite reach 4 stars for me was strictly because of the plot. This is an adaptation of a 1908 mystery novel, and I could see the plot twist coming from a mile away, though I'm sure it was revolutionary at the time. Murder mysteries are also just not my genre of choice. However, these are strictly a "me" things and isn't indicative of the quality of Jason's work.
All that being said, I can't wait to read original work by Jason. I can't wait to dive into his backlist.
