4 STARS
Mysterious bi-continental problem has Dirk Gently of the Holistic Detective Agency globe trotting. If quirky science jokes and dry humor with twists are your thing, then this graphic novel will be amusing.
I loved the smart and smart-mouthed writing as well as the artwork. The framing of the scenes were both picturesque and cleverly angled for effect. The color and line were fine. But really, the thing here is the mix up. To be able to go from post-colonial critique of representations to juvenile bodily humor to quantum physics is a gift. It's funny. It takes things, breaks them down, throws them into a shaker and you end up with a delicious comic smoothie.
Seriously, my life needs more of this.
