(i.e. Tony the Tiger, Captain Crunch&#8230; etc).\u00a0 The storytelling is really well done, the art gets better with every page, and it&#8217;s a decent page-turner.\u00a0 I&#8217;m surprised every

up and I&#8217;ll slap my forehead thinking, &#8220;How on Earth did I forget about that character.&#8221;\u00a0 I feel this series is\u00a0vaguely reminiscent (with the tongue firmly planted in the
