Det er helt samme stil som ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’, som jeg virkelig, virkelig elskede. I read this prior to reading the inspiration, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. I'm a huge fan of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse which is the book that this one is parodying. The pictures are cute and parts of the story are funny, but I think the women loving wine trope is a little bit overdone, and some of the text is hard to read.

She is accompanied by a wise but maligned mink, a scared cod, and a noisy, foolish, and boring donkey.

On her travels she bumps into the mink, the cod and a donkey who inexplicably resembles Donald Trump, and together they discuss their most valued life lessons, such as the value of travel insurance, and why it's always important to wear breathable pants. This graphic novel takes everything you loved about the original and applies it to the everyday hopes, fears, annoyances and elements of all of our lives.
