jothra recommended the Bone comics to me; I have now read through the first three volumes (Out From Boneville, The Great Cow Race, and Eyes of the Storm) and I am totally, utterly charmed. They're so adorable! There are also hints that eventually they're going to get Epic, but right now I am stuck on 'charmed'. I am also super impressed that Jeff Smith manages to write dialect that is neither over-cutesy or cringeworthy.
Basically, the story focuses on three cousins from a village that is apparently entirely composed of people who look like this:
This is our protagonist, Fone Bone, trying to write love poetry. (Despite having read Moby Dick multiple times, he's not very good at it.)
The Bones get kicked out of Boneville because of all the money-scams perpetrated by one of the cousins, Phoney Bone (the names: not subtle), wander through the wilderness for a while, and end up somewhere completely different ( cut for more images! )
