Publisher Description
A classic tale of good versus evil in a zany, over-the-top comic that will have readers of all ages laughing out loud!A team of scientists has sent a monkey into space! And good thing, too, because he's a mean, selfish, noisy, bullying little fur-bag. But... all does not go well with the flight, and Monkey's spaceship barely clears the first hilltop before crash-landing in a peaceful forest. Monkey decides this is a new world and claims it for his own. And his first decree is that all other animals should be banished! What follows is a series of hilarious, off-the-wall interactions between Monkey and the other forest animals.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Smart keeps the laughs coming in this compilation of comics that were previously published in the British comic The Phoenix. Reflecting the weekly nature of that publication, these 26 two-page episodes move through the seasons as they follow the combative exchanges between the villainous Monkey and forest-dwellers Bunny, Pig, and Weenie the squirrel. Monkey who thinks he's on another planet, when his spaceship actually launched from a nearby scientific facility wastes no time in attempting to conquer the forest, aided by the destructive/defective inventions of a skunk with an underground lab. Smart's animals are cuter than cute, which makes the mayhem of inventions like a rotten-egg-dropping chicken zeppelin all the funnier, and the ever-cheerful and none-too-bright Pig and Weenie often steal the spotlight. (After dressing up as a ghost for Halloween in May Weenie only scares himself: "Augh! I'm a ghost? I'm scared of ghosts," he wails. "Did I diiiiiiie?") Some of the tired insults that get slung around (dumb, sissies, "like a girl") are overdue for retirement, but there's still a lot to enjoy in this collection. Ages 7 10.
