The only word I can think of to sum it up is charming. It&#8217;s a sweet innocent fun and funny tale. It seems that recently I&#8217;ve been reading a lot more comics with comedy themes or aspects. The first time the phrase &#8220;stupid stupid rat creatures&#8221; is used cracked me up. The plot of Bone is very simple and I quote <i><br \/>\nAfter being run out of Boneville, the three BONE cousins, Fone Bone, Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone, are separated and lost in a vast, uncharted desert. One by one, they find their way into a deep, forested valley filled with wonderful and terrifying creatures&#8230;<\/i><br \/>\nI read the first 3 volumes back to back at the time and I&#8217;m looking forward to reading the others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moby.com\/\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">Moby<\/a>&#8216;s new album: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000063JBY\/qid=1022084638\/sr=2-1\/ref=sr_2_3_1\/202-4246297-0982206\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return true;\" onmouseout=\"JavaScript: self.status=''; return false;\">18<\/a> has gotten a lot of play (ha ha get it?) over the past couple of days.
