I picked up this graphic novel because of the cover (and let's face it, that's one of the main draws of a book, and publishers know it). It did not disappoint! This is one of the funniest graphic novels I've read in a while. It may have to do with the unusual tale. It tells the fictional story of the Churamane, a species that lived long ago and are now extinct. It focuses on a husband and wife, George and Gladys, who find out they've won a free 40-day and 40-night cruise trip on Noah's Ark. As many of you are aware from the Bible story, while the animals are on board, the entire earth will be under water. The plan is when the flood is over, the animals will have to repopulate the planet with their species. The only problem is, George and Gladys like to nap...A LOT! One of the characteristics of the Churamane is they are very lazy. So, George and Gladys sleep through the date they were supposed to be on board the "cruise ship." They eventually get to the ark, but are locked out! And Noah won't let them get on! Needless to say, that is the story of how the Churamane became extinct.
This story is hysterical, I absolutely loved it! George and Gladys are perfectly suited to each other in their laziness and love of napping. Noah is a hoot, as well! The humor and silliness is matched in the illustrations. This graphic novel is perfect for children and adults. Prepare yourself for lots of laughter!
