Krokus (Loud & Smart) memorializes his recently deceased father with dry humor and affection in this winning graphic narrative. At the funeral—which features a parade of family friends drawn as animals (birds, turtles, bears) with colorful stories about his dad—Alex sees his father’s ghost, who begins to follow him around. Alex is drawn as a raccoon, while his dad is an owl. The two hang out in diners, stroll along the beach, play mini golf, and talk about life and death.
