Only book I've ever read narrated by a litter box. Good silly fun.

The concept hooked me, and it was really cute and funny! I whipped through it in about an hour.

My new go-to read alike recommendation for fans of Dog Man! Laughed out loud several times. Can't wait for the sequel!

4.5 stars. Fantastic!! Loved this graphic novel. The story and characters are great - there’s tons of action, some fun surprises, and a great friendship at the center of it all. Highly recommend!

This came across the damages shelf for me, and I could not resist reading it! Two cats inside a robotic dog fighting crime? Yes please. There are so many great cat goofs and the whole adventure is narrated by a sentient litter box. It is the perfect amount of silly and the action moves at a good clip.

Definitely recommended for fans of [b:Sidekicks|9639648|Sidekicks|Dan Santat|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1303352163s/9639648.jpg|14527060] or [b:Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy|28954366|Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy (Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy series, Book 1)|Doug Savage|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1463041617s/28954366.jpg|49179405], or basically any enjoyer of adventure and animals.

Additional bonus, Ian Boothby has been a guest on Stop Podcasting Yourself!

Also a goofy and fun science fiction graphic novel -- but this time it is narrated by a robotic litter box, and the mad scientist is a cat. The adventurous sidekick is also a cat. But they are dressed up in a dog suit and facing off against an alien mastermind disguised as a baby. Yep, ridiculous. Yep, good fun. Pain Pants!!!!!!
