What Have We Been Reading? #3

It's been a while since I've done one of these "What Have We Been Reading?" posts.

How posts in this format work: I swipe a panel from a comic I've recently been reading.


You, the readers and commenters, tell me whether you recognize the panel, and where you think it's from. A few days later, I draw up a more extended consideration of the book in question. (I still owe you a review of Shiga's Meanwhile..., don't I?)

Here's a hint about this panel: it contains both of the title characters of the book.

Another note, not exactly a hint: the panel also contains two things I really didn't like about the book.

I'll be on my way down to SPX directly after teaching today. I imagine I'll be able to keep posting from Bethesda, but I'm not sure what form those posts will take.

  1. I neither recognize it nor have any idea what it's from.

    As for what you didn't like: is the language part of it? The size of the nose? I'm grasping at straws here...

  2. The facial aspects of character design in this book were, indeed, one of the things I didn't like about it.

    Also, the lettering, which I've tried to replicate in my swipe.

    More about it after I've made a dent in my SPX haul.

  3. Since no one guessed this one in over a week, I've decided to let the cat out of the bag.
