The shape of it

The shape of this universe.

Fox & Chick is Sergio Ruzzier's gentle early-reader comic franchise about two very different friends: Fox, who is often patient and thoughtful, and Chick, who is excitable, literal, impulsive and wonderfully annoying. Each book is made of three short comic stories, giving young readers the satisfaction of graphic storytelling without overwhelming length or complexity. The humour comes from tiny misunderstandings, social friction, odd logic and friendship that survives small irritations. It is a beautiful bridge from picture books into early comics.
