by Craig Thompson

Good-Bye, Chunky Rice Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This stunning book-length debut is a quiet picture novella of a small turtle, Chunky Rice, leaving his home and his mouse friend, Dandel. A Dr. Seussian cast of colorful characters and lush cartoon-y brushwork shape this into a charming, profound tale of loneliness, loss, and undying friendship.

Synopsis:

This stunning book-length debut is a quiet picture novella of a small turtle, Chunk, Rice, leaving his home and his mouse friend, Dander. His is the classic journey to find one's self, and the deeper meaning of life. A Dr. Seuss-ian cast of colorful characters and lush cartoon-y brushwork shape this adventurous story of human connection and loss with charm and fun. "Good-bye, Chunky Rice" is, quite simply, an absolutely essential tome for every graphic novel reader. Craig's drawings are most impressive. His work is equally at home in the children's book section as it is in the alternative comics realm. The first in the Top Shelf Deluxe Format, this graphic novel will be printed with a rich full-color cover and hefty interior pages. This book, worth every penny, will dazzle your senses.
