(Deluxe Version) Slushie is a strange but charming comic strip about the life and adventures of an Emperor Penguin of the same name, drawn and written by Bo Andre Lundqvist. At the heart of the strip is a lovable cast of characters who waddle their way through a surprisingly colorful world (given that it is Antarctica and all) where the only limit to the possibilities is the imagination of the author. On the Origin of Slushie is the first compilation of strips from the beloved series, covering the first seven years of its zany humor. So, grab a sweater and get ready for balloon sharks, bovine-inspired rock bands, mechanical warriors of democracy, anthropomorphic carbon, and, most of all, penguins. Lots and lots of penguins."
