Frisky Fables #43
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrisky Fables #43 is an anthology featuring multiple comic stories. One story follows Barnaby the beaver, who is criticized by a wise owl for lacking initiative and enterprise after his attempt to use swordfish teeth as tools fails. The owl teaches Barnaby that if you can't do one thing, you can do something else, leading Barnaby to find success as a logger and cementer at a dam. Another story depicts cartoon characters on a film set with a famous director, where they cause comedic chaos during production, including disrupting filming and creating general mayhem on the studio lot.
A cartoonist's mind snaps from the relentless grind of drawing day and night, and he tumbles into a surreal world where his creations—half-finished characters, animated objects, and logic-defying scenarios—become disturbingly real. As he careens through this unbalanced reality, he encounters an increasingly bizarre parade of his own drawings, each with their own grievances and demands. By the time he lands on a stranger's wristwatch and shares a kiss with a silly bunny, our "Mad Artist" has fully surrendered to the fantastic chaos of his own fractured imagination.
