Night of the Grasshopper Mouse by Chris Ruggia.
Jack and Mel star in an all-new, print-only adventure! The old stories tell of a carnivorous, bloodthirsty...mouse?! It can't be true – OR CAN IT???
...with 3 bonus pages of sketches and nature info!
Chris Ruggia, 2010. 28-page mini-comic, 5.5 x 7.25"
"It is great for all ages and a really excellent story that gives all kinds of information about animals that live in Texas in a fun and exciting way. It's both a great story and very educational. I learned a lot myself from reading it. For instance, I had never heard of the grasshopper mouse, a mouse that sometimes eats other rodents and lets out a "howl" with a long, high-pitched squeak, like a "miniature wolf". I highly recommend it...This 28-page comic is a printed companion to Ruggia's webcomic, Jack Adventures in Texas' Big Bend. As he puts it, "Jack is based as closely as I can manage upon actual natural history: the habitats, behaviors, and diets of the animals living in Texas' Big Bend area." It really is admirable how much of the story is factual while still being very entertaining." - Andrew Wales
