The best thing about the comic is that it's cute and charming. The dynamic between a boy and his guinea pig as well as his crush is sweet. Some of the episodes have a good simple message. But the problem is that the first episodes suffer from dated art style but has evolved over time (UPDATE: First three episodes were updated but the next few after this reflects the rough art). Many supporitng characters are just there without being made interesting though the cat and the brother are interesting characters. Some of the episodes suffer from being too ambitous for its own good and I lost sense of pacing in the later episodes. And worse, the dialogue is so stilited that it's something that'll make George Lucas blush. The bright side is that I put lot of hard work and heart into the pic, but it needs much more refinement to be comparable to Dr. Seuss books, Hayao Miyazaki films, or Raina Telgemier's comics. Not bad, but it's pleasant fun grade-B Loud House with enough charm to make up for its major shortcomings. In addition, it falls short of the classics I love from other mediums like Loud House, James Cameron's Avatar, Spy X Family, Bibliophile Princess, Tenet, every Pixar, Mamoru Hosoda, or Ghibli films, Baby Driver, Hilda, and more recently The Super Mario Bros Movie. But I'd take this story over Nomadland and way over Velma any day.
