When we are children we hear several stories with fantastic worlds full of magic and adventures. And many times our children's minds want to go there and get to know the dream of the Fairy World. Here we will meet Gertrude, the little girl who unfortunately had her wish fulfilled.
Gertrude was only 6 when she was dragged to Fairyland. And as soon as she arrived her only wish was to return home, however Queen Cloudia had her as a guest and the only way to return was to find the key that unlocked the door to her world. And the only things she had help with were a map of Fairyland and his guide, Larrigon Wentworth III.
It should have been a simple adventure in a magical world, but Gert has been in prison for twenty-seven years. All that colorful and happy universe had driven her crazy and the sweet little girl ended up becoming a revolted, hateful, violent, disgusting and miserable woman trapped in a child's body. She did not grow, but her soul grew older every day in that world.
His inability to interpret maps and his bad habit of not listening to his guide generates a trail of blood and disgrace throughout Fairyland and the fury of Queen Cloudia, who only wishes Gert's death, but tries to perform such an act in a way that does not break the rules of the universe.
The story is comical and absurd with a despicable and persistent protagonist. And it is this persistence that makes us root for it. Since Gert is willing to go home even if he has to open the way with an ax.
Art is like a mixture of Adventure Time and the violence of Deadpool. Some scenes also reminded me of Happy Tree Friends, but the difference is all the blood, broken bones, and deaths are not accidentally generated.
Skottie Young, an award winner from the New York Times, has been producing comics and children's books for over fifteen years. And my first contact with his work was through the illustrations of "Fortunately, the milk", by Neil Gaiman.
