Absurdly Funny Farmyard Comic

Someone has been stealing from Mr. Pig’s trough, but lucky for him, Ducky the Spy is on the case! Or is it so lucky? Ducky is great at sneaking and spying, but his sidekick Donny is an odd Donkey, and the duo have a way of making Mr. Pig explode. Join this rambunctious cast for not one but two farmyard missions in this standalone comic book.

This is a full color comic with large panels (1 to 4 on any given page). Ducky’s cute, simple design contributes to his chipper innocence in the face of Mr. Pig’s frustrations, and much of the humor comes from miscommunications between them as well as the simply absurd things that happen. But at the end of the day, when all of the hangry donkeys are settled and the kidnapped goat is brought back to his parents (who are not goats, why would you assume), Ducky and friends have a nice happy ending.

It feels a little silly to say, but don’t expect too much from Ducky’s spy prowess. Although he’s got the cool, slick spy vibe mastered, his skills may not be quite to the level of his reputation. Be ready for his missions to find their success with coincidence, some luck, and a whole lot of laughs.
