Thankyou to Netgalley, artist and writer Dan White, and the publisher Oni Press for providing me with a free electronic ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Cindy and her sidekick/pet dog Biscuit are a force to be reckoned with. Saving the world from aliens, defeating ghosts and monsters, all in a day's work. The art style is pure nostalgia, chunky and vibrant, a mix between classic comic strip and 90s cartoon, and the stories range from cute and cuddly, to downright disturbing, in that excellent way that shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog used to just toe the line into horror, but keeping it friendly enough for young people.
A quick, but satisfying read, even for adults. Highly recommended.
