I really enjoyed this funny adventure science-fiction/fantasy graphic novel. I think it will definitely appeal to Dogman fans, since the humor feels very similar to each other. The basic premise is that a cat is sent to space to save the moon from the rats that are eating it. There are a lot of running gags that keep returning throughout the book, and readers will recognize some of the tropes that are being played with. Plus, the chapters are super short and the pacing is episodic, but it is easy to keep reading to find out what the next hilarious scene will be. Highly recommend for elementary and up!
