A Freak of Nature

Summary: A Freak of Nature
Review: A delightfully ambitious viewpoint of a "world outside the box". Esp poignant in today's fast paced world depicting human emotions and desires impacting a disturbing & once quiet and seemingly impregnable slow evolution of Nature. Often quirky and sarcastically relentless, taking non-stop jabs at our own's societal demise with respect to nature and our limited natural resources. Animals are the main characters, but the flaws are all human in nature. Many provokingly dark snapshots from a sensitive & well meant, but highly comical perspective. Sort of a Far Side meets Non-Sequitor. Morality vs Humanity vs Evolution?! A smart book for a "not so smart society" intent on driving our human race thru the rat race of Darwinism.

Review: Funny and provocative. If you like comics, you'll like this. Many of the cartoons focus on our relationship with nature, but it's the critters who often take center stage. Whether depicting environmental degradation or group therapy for Peeping Toms, Bose's work is laced with wit and sarcasm. I've read it several times through and keep coming back to it.
