Translated by Karen Li.
In a twist on the typical convention, Simone, a perky little blond girl, is the "monster" in bug-eyed alien-looking creature Morris's childhood. Telling their story is a series of single-page comics, each one ending with a funny punchline. The highly angular illustration style charges the comics with extra visual energy. An interesting comics concept for new readers.
