In what world does this comic deserve a 3.5? I made an account just so I could rate it the 10/10 it deserves.
On the Farm all animals were equal. In the Castle some are more equal than others.
After witnessing the deaths of animals she knew as friends for seemingly nothing, Miss B. becomes a conflicted cat.

For fans of the bestselling Stray Dogs and the Eisner Award winning Beasts of Burden comes an animal fable at once familiar and surprising! You may think you know the st more

So much to love in here. The characters are full of life. Ceasar, the rabbit who just so happens to be a male prostitute, Miss B; the struggling widow who is a mother of two, the wise old rat Azelar who brings myths of revolution from distant lands, the rooster who propagandizes the animals, the evil President Silvio, and many more.

The art is exquisite and it feels like you get a lot of it for the regular $3.99 price. The only thing that would improve this would be to publish it in the wider magazine format, as that appears to be the original intent based on the panel layout and draftsmanship detail. I hope this gets an oversized release when it's collected in trade format to do it proper justice.
