In this second overtly silly comic book, the Glorkian Warrior, sidekick Super Backpack, and a baby alien talk about pie, elbows, and eyeballs. At over one-hundred pages, the minimal plot line is drawn out and somewhat convoluted. The illustrations are engaging and silly, though, and the text is full of goofy exclamations and made-up language that will resonate with new readers.
