Really, really great single-author comic anthology. I hadn't heard of Jake Parker before but I'm definitely keeping an eye on him from now on. I got 2 copies, one for me and one for an 8-year-old. I read my copy over a week or so while I heard he read his copy daily for weeks.

There are some cute stories in here. I liked the one about the little robot the best.

This is a really cute collection of short stories, and I generally had a nice reading experience. I would recommend picking this up if you're looking for a quick and light graphic novel/anthology.

I enjoyed the wide variety of art styles and thought it added an interesting dynamic to the storytelling. Some of the stories felt a little disjointed, some of them lacked a cohesive plot, and some of them left me with more questions than answers by the end of the collection, but they all had an interesting premise and cast of characters.

The ending chapter tied each story together in an interesting and unexpected way and definitely helped make the anthology feel more intentional.

Overall, I had a nice time.
