Bleary-Eye by Ced
4.5
adventurous funny lighthearted medium-paced

 
This was such a fun and wild ride.  The Looniland is a realm of 2 “people”: the ugly and the pretty.  The pretty get to laze the day away and the ugly do all the work.  We come into the story with the Mayor Granny sending her best ugly to figure out what happened with the lighting, and then take that “thing” to the mountain and drop it in the burning pit.  But the entire journey is a comedy of errors.  While uglies are doing all the work, the pretties are being zombified by some illness to which the uglies have immunity.  This book contains 3 stories that all interconnect.  They are funny, and heartfelt, and just a joy to read.  The illustrations are bright and colorful.  The story at times seems long, but that is because there is so much dialog between the characters.  Way more dialogue then usually seen in a graphic novel.  Overall, I loved this story, and I want more or it.  Also, I would really like to see this animated.
