The Friday Review: Good-Bye, Chunky Rice |
 | | She writes letters to Chunky, sticks them in bottles, and throws them out to sea; she has no idea if he'll ever read them, but it's the only way she knows to keep their connection alive. |
 | | GOOD-BYE, CHUNKY RICE was the first graphic novel by Craig Thompson, and the book feels like something that may have happened to him, with turtles and field mice standing in for the real people. |
 | | Chunky and Dandel, despite their simplistic designs, are highly expressive characters as well, able to communicate complex emotions through a simple gesture or wordless stare. |
