This full-color ashcan-format book was released in 2011, but I picked it up as part of my 2012 Free Comic Book Day haul.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter", the narrative style of this comic resembles the classic Scrooge McDuck tales of Carl Barks.
In this story, the Walrus is hungry for a good meal and he's willing to give anything to get it. Anything except for honest work, of course. Accompanied by the rather oblivious Carpenter, the pair swindles their way into the palace of the absent king, passing themselves off as snark hunters, only to be undone by their own greed.
This had some amusing moments, and I enjoyed the way that the Lewis Carroll references were woven into the story.
Rating: 7/10
