This is the first Dylan Horrocks book I have read, and I am interested to read more. I read this right after reading Joe Ollmann's "Mid-Life," which are both "family dude cartoonist mid-life crisis" graphic novels. Although this one is not autobiographical it definitely has the air of "I'm in a rut and out of ideas, let that be my idea". I don't often get into fantasy, and this is no exception; the idea of a magic pen whose markings can "take you there if you breathe on them" is a good one that's just not for me. The "team effort" story and the "just drawn that way" character are nods to trying to shake the male gaze. There is an orgy-type scene that is interesting to look at, but overall I'm more interested now in the stories that Horrocks is apparently most known for.
