Final issue! Oliver, Pickles, and the rest of the cats and dogs prepare for an uprising.
Kennel Block Blues #4 wraps up an excellent series that had all members of the creative team providing a high level of quality within their own expertise to capture a real sense of heart, humour, and entertainment, all while continuing to play with the comic form. The final few pages embody what this series has pointed towards, examining what exactly freedom means amongst the relationships that have been formed between each of the characters and choosing to accept fate or pave the road to ones own destiny.The final few images leave a window open for a sequel series which, if not granted, leave a rather ominous taste in the mouth, considering the conclusion to Oliver's journey.

This is a great way to end the series. These four issues represent a lot of different things, depending on your perspective. Is it a series about the criminal justice system? The harsh conditions in American penitentiaries? Animal shelters that keep dogs and cats in cages, their only contact being with the hands that pet them (mirrored in the hands of the “guards”)? This series can be looked at in so many different ways, and that’s one of the things I love most about it. It’s a piece of art that leaves a lot up to the reader to figure out. I’m bummed that it’s over, but damn, what a ride it has been! This is definitely a series that I recommend you all read as soon as possible. Read Full Review
