Absolutely awesome. I need more. I also need more graphic novels with cats saving everyone. Love that for me.

This book is definitely a nod to Orwells ‘Animal Farm’. It started off great and then it just kind of felt like it wasn’t going anywhere for a good chunk of the middle to about the end. Still really enjoyed it but unfortunately since this is translated from French I have no idea if or when there will be a volume 2.

When I first started reading this I was pretty doubtful it was going to be as Animal Farm as everything about it was leading me to believe. It was solid though! I do REALLY enjoy the character that is a male sex worker rabbit, both for the fact that he's a male sex worker AND he's respected for his ideas, even if initially he is not trusted . Character designs were overall solid and didn't veer too far into anthropromophization that I couldn't tell what kind of creature they were. I feel like if this was a full graphic novel and not a comic that is collected then translated, I would feel more satisfied with it and more patient for the next volume.

What if I told you making a story with anthropomorphism should actually have a point? I’m not a pet person, so I guess the first thing I ask myself when I read stuff like this is: why is this the way it is. And the answer, in this one, is that there’s no particular reason; they just like animals, I’d wager. The story is exceptionally plodding, the worldbuilding didn’t make any bit of sense. And once again, people throwing their notion of how animals act and behave just rings completely untrue, fetishistic, and wreaks of colonialism. If you can’t empathize with people going through hardships and immediately connect with animals enduring human hardships, well, therapy exists.
I assume this was in the Eisners because pet people are a thing and the visual craft is actually stunning. Imagine being an artist and getting paired with writers like this. Hope they made money because I’d love to see more of the art, at least.
