I liked this, particularly the last 2 issues. The humour really got there for me and I was chuckling more heavily as I got acquainted with this messed up little world.

I was a bit annoyed to start with, because it skipped a bit of the bait, like end of part 1 with the intro of the huntsman being swiftly over in panel one of the next part. Then there was the wish to be normal for a day, totally glazed over. I think it was mainly for some quick laughs, but I'd have liked some more plot to go with it.

The plot definitely got better when Happy was introduced because it gave more urgency and point to Gert's task, after 27 years.

The style reminded me of the Lalaloopsy dolls (that I so badly wanted when I was younger) and I loved how trippy and sickly bright it all was.

I'll be looking out for volume 2, maybe in some winter sales or something.
