I am perplexed.

A few weeks ago, some blogger I read recommended a graphic novel called Bone, by Jeff Smith. Bone was originally published as individual comic books in the usual way, and then in a sequence of collections; but the blogger was particularly excited because the entire thing was now being published in one volume.

I’m perplexed, because I just went back to the blog I thought I saw it one, and it’s not there.

But anyway, it looked like fun, and I was in a susceptible mood, and I ordered a copy. And I have to say, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I not infrequently laughed out loud; and unlike Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, there’s nothing here I’d be unwilling to share with my kids.

I’m trying to figure out how to describe it without giving too much away, and I’m failing. If you like fantasy, and you like things that are funny, it’s well worth your time.
