The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Looshkin is Jamie Smart's anarchic comic franchise about a blue cat who causes total chaos everywhere he goes. It is louder, ruder and more absurd than many early comics, built around the simple pleasure of watching a character with almost no impulse control derail every situation. The books are very funny for children who like nonsense, shouting, surreal escalation and cartoon mayhem, but they are not calming or emotionally tidy. Looshkin is best treated as pure comic energy: excellent for reluctant readers, less useful for quiet bedtime.
A wildly silly comic series about the maddest cat in the world causing chaos, nonsense and cartoon disaster on every page.
