This humorous graphic-novel sequel is loosely based on Homer's Odyssey. Zozimos, like all tragic heroes, learns that inner growth is needed to solve his problems. The illustrated panels feature slightly fleshed-out stick figures; the simple black-and-white pictures are easy to follow and are well suited to the storytelling, where silliness is emphasized over drama.

Loosely based on Homer's Odyssey, this graphic novel puts its own silly spin on Odysseus's epic adventure, emphasizing slapstick humor over action or drama. The pictures are easy to follow and are well suited to the manic pace of the storytelling. Most of the characters are stick figures with simple adornments or accessories so readers can tell them apart.
