The Origin of Gorilla the Chinchilla

From the Random Stack of Unread Comics.

Title: The Origin of Gorilla the Chinchilla
Publisher: Michael Harris
Writer: Michael Harris
Artist: Michael Harris

No date on this approximately ashcan-format minicomic. Color cardstock cover and b/w interior.

Gorilla the Chinchilla, inspired by watching episodes of "Lena: Warrior Princess" from the living room windowsill, engages in an epic battle against a bear before finding himself in semi-retirement as a battle-scarred pet.

Much of the story is wordless, and the minimalistic art style took me a second or third look to catch everything that was going on, but I found it to be effective once I got a sense of it.

There are some amusing lines in the human dialogue at the end of the story, and plenty of potential for further adventures.

Rating: 6.5/10
