I don’t know if I’m missing something or if it’s just not my sense of humor, but I didn’t find this hilarious, as Goodreads describes it. The purumus are cute, but I didn’t get a lot out of the stories. Yes, yes. I get the big thing that’s hinted at from the description on the back and confirmed in the last panel.

Looks like the comic has a big following online, and that makes me happy, because the author sounded warm and sweet in the intro.

This book is based on a webcomic, (same name). I have not seen it. I enjoyed the book and the thought provoking stories. I may have enjoyed it more had I been familiar with the webcomic. If you are interested in the book you may want to check that out first. I like the art though I wish it was in color. The stories were fun and quick to read but leave a lot for you to think about. I found it to be interesting but also comforting in a children’s book way.… (plus d'informations)
