• Summary:

  2 stories featuring an egg as the main character.

  The first story is best described as a cross between Kafka’s Metamorphosis and the Road Runner cartoons.

  “The first story gives us several pages of witty observations on life as a Humpty Dumpty-style human-egg hybrid and the precarious nature of that existence. Suddenly, as dreams often do, it veers off into another storytelling tangent as our eggy hero becomes embroiled in a madcap global chase that begins in the Sahara. Taylor is adept at playing with the structure of the comics page throughout to make his visual gags land as the cartoon slapstick escalates ever more.”  Andy Oliver Broken Frontier

  The second story is a dream “In the backup strip ‘Dream Story’ the egg finds itself at a party being held in its own house which is rudely interrupted by the arrival of some unwelcome guests, including a walking spatula and frying pan. Again the tale takes a sidestep into something very different and somewhat reflective as Taylor make meta use of panels and page layouts to bring us into more philosophical territory.” Andy Oliver Broken Frontier
