  From the adorable to the absurd, these playful paintings are a penguin lover’s delight. 
   
  Penguins hate zombies. They also hate serpents, bad haircuts, sock monkeys, leprechauns, Halloween, oil rigs, vampire penguins, and mermaids. They really hate clowns, but they really like capes, balloons, and free vacations. 
   
  This quirky collection reveals the discriminating tastes of these adorable flightless Antarctic birds who encounter odd foes (snow sharks, beavers, cowboys, samurai . . .), but still manage to enjoy the little things in life. With wit, humor, and the occasional alien invasion, Greg Stones’s paintings capture the playfully absurd life of penguins. 
   
  Praise for Greg Stones 
   
  “Stones’s panels have a cool way of collectively turning a grin into a chuckle (and perhaps, dare it be said, into a hearty guffaw).” —Publishers Weekly

  Ten Years ago, a certain law was passed by the high council that made the very existence of the Megatrons, the most advanced family of robots, illegal. Thus, commencing an era where humans began hunting down their own creations without mercy. 
  Jun Cason, the protagonist of this world far into the future is sentenced to death for committing one of the worst crimes of recent times. While drowning in depression and awaiting his death, one day a strange man visits him and makes him an offer: spend the last two weeks of your life in this tiny jail cell or live for one week as a free man; only catch is, you’d have to go to that mysterious place in the galaxy where living things die of unknown reasons for our research project. Finding a tiny ray of hope in the darkness, Jun accepts the offer. 
  On his last day as a free man, Jun witnesses a very cruel public execution of the megatrons while being out on the streets. Megatrons resembles human beings.

  How could Jun ever hope to survive the Obion planet clusters where the deadly aliens lurk? After learning the conspiracy and the corruption of the high council who rules the world, would he be willing to assist the revolutionaries and help them by committing the same crime that got him a death sentence once again?
