A.L.I.E.E.E.N.

by Lewis Trondheim
paperback, Carver County Library
Wordless graphic novel

First off, I'll admit that I don't "get it." I probably should have tried harder to understand this, but it just turned me off. Weird little alien creatures getting stabbed in the eyes by pointy branches and bleeding to death. Strange inter- and intra- species relationships. A creature that poops a continuous stream of feces more than 100 times its apparent body weight. Weird stuff. I didn't understand most of it, and I didn't like it.
