How can you not love a book which includes the lines ‘Skunky, do NOT use the interdimensional portal-opening device!’ and ‘This time next year, we’ll all be wearing chutney’ or indeed, ‘Où est l’Action Beaver?’ But lines like these are only one of the pleasures of Jamie Smart’s comic strip adventures, Bunny vs Monkey .
A bumper hardback edition, Machine Mayhem contains an entire years’ worth of stories, all first seen in the Phoenix comic, and they are his usual exuberant mix of madcap action, surreal situations, constant surprises, and extraordinary mechanical gadgets.
Each self-contained strip is a triumph of design, invention and hilarity, Smart’s unmistakeable illustrations dazzling and delighting readers. Amidst all the chaos though, Bunny, Monkey, Weenie and Pig are proper characters, always believable, no matter what they’re up to. One of the most brilliant comic strips of today.
Genius inventor Skunky has just designed a brand-new creation . . . a robot called Metal Eve! She needs to learn everything there is to know about life, so it's probably not the best idea that she's surrounded by Bunny, Monkey, Weenie, Pig and the gang. The only thing she's going to learn from them is that life in the Woods is very, very silly indeed!
