A nutty ninja chicken and a hapless pirate penguin have more screwball adventures.This third graphic installment in the ongoing series opens with Pirate Penguin sharing his outrageously zany origin story, immediately setting the sugar-high tone that continues throughout. In a series of loosely strung vignettes-some only a few panels and most not more than a few pages-the duo has many oddly madcap adventures, including an encounter with their friend Wizard Wombat, Pirate Penguin's transformation into a weregoose that leads to a beauty parlor trip, a sudden visit from pal Astronaut Armadillo, and "a barbecue that could have gone better." The beauty of this construction is that it makes the book an excellent choice to read either episodically or nonlinearly. Most of the duo's exploits are rampantly nonsensical and go unresolved, Friesen apparently opting to prioritize silliness over plot and character development; that said, readers who revel in such imaginative wackiness should be over the moon. Straying from a conventional layout, the vibrant full-color panels often burst from their borders, utilizing unique sizing and shape; many have solid, unembellished backgrounds, focusing readers solely on the characters, who bounce around their panels with an infectious, manic glee. In a concluding Q&A, Friesen refers to his titular characters using they pronouns.Buckle your seatbelts: This is one goofy ride. (Graphic fiction. 7-12)
You're telling me this pirate is a penguin?? That's not all, buddy. This ninja... is a chicken. And in their THIRD ridiculous book together, they're even funnier than ever!
Your favorite Flightless Fighting Friends, those Bouncy Battle Birds are back! In fact, they never left! They've been standing right behind you this whole time! But in a fun way, not a creepy way. Don't turn around. Or do! I'm not the boss of you.
Pirate Penguin vs Ninja Chicken (Book Three): Macaroni and BEES?!? contains:
— A big pile of random comics on important topics such as werewolf shampoo, frivolous time travel, and anti-gravity popcorn
— Absolutely no Macaroni OR Bees
— The Top Secret Long Lost origin story of Pirate Penguin (hint: he's probably from space)
— AND finally, after all this time, the ultimate versus, to decide who will win the friendship once and for all! (hint: Ninja Chicken)
Also! As a bonus, using state of the art inflatable-origami-technology, this book can transform into over 8 types of hats, to help you express your entire personality through headgear, the Pirate Penguin Way. Note: any folding or inflating of this book may cause it to get ruined forever, but it's totally fine, don't worry about it.
