1-3Graphic Universe: Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series.
Illustrated by
Stephanie Yue.
Absent-minded pet shop owner Mr. Venezi is behind in his rent; Charlotte the bookstore owner next door has too many books. They like each other but may have to move apart, unless Sasspants the guinea pig detective and sidekick Hamisher can figure out a way to help. Although the quirky graphic novel has appealing, emotive illustrations, the convoluted plot is difficult to follow.
