Sam & Max <\/strong>are a dog & rabbit duo of madness. In this adventure, they’re called to a case on the moon! So, they happily drive there by filling their exhaust pipe with matches and setting them ablaze. Once they arrive at the city of mice on the lunar surface they’re filled in on the situation: lots of mice children are going missing! So, Sam & Max set out beyond the city’s walls to find out what’s going on. They discover a city of enormous cockroaches are EATING the mice children! Yikes! Their solution? Ship all of Earth’s garbage to the cockroach city for them to eat – solves everyone’s problems right?<\/p>\n

…. until the cockroaches on Earth start complaining…<\/p>\n

It’s madness. Utter madness! I get that this is a humor book. I really do – but, I think it’s a humor that I don’t really get much enjoyment out of – it’s nonsense for nonsense’s sake. TONS of nonsense. Artistically, it’s extremely well-detailed. There’s plenty of stuff going on in the background that you can analyze, at length. And, the tone of the book seems fun and appealing – I just don’t click with the humor. So, I can’t recommend it, personally – but that’s not to say that you won’t enjoy it.<\/p>\n
