Duck’s Backyard
by Ulrich Hub, Jorg Muhle (Illustrations)

4 out of 5 stars

Duck lives all alone in her yard. She has a wonky leg and has to use a crutch, so she never ventures out into the world. When a blind Chicken wanders in, she invites Duck to join her on a journey to find the land of wishes. Duck and Chicken embark on a journey fraught with peril and danger and deep ravines and dark forests and high mountains. Duck narrates to Chicken about all the sights and dangers along the way, and Chicken helps Duck to make the weary journey with her wonky leg. They bicker and argue, but in the end they learn that the true wish of their heart is just to have a friend.

Monkey & Robot: Flights of Fancy
by Peter Catalanotto

2 out of 5 stars

Monkey has some wild ideas about becoming famous, studying turtles by dressing up like a turtle, and maybe becoming a superhero from a radioactive spider bite. Robot patiently helps Monkey to realize that his flights of fancy are not always smart, but there are other ways to realize his dreams in smaller more manageable ways.

This is a weird little comic. The art work is not very good, and looks like a child drew it. The storylines are extremely simple and kind of boring. I guess it has a sort of innocent charm that a child might enjoy, but it is not very polished or professional-looking.
