    Nothing pleases Gunther Grizzwell like a good meal. Accompanied by his porcupine pal, the always-perplexing Pierpoint, Gunther roams the hills and campsites of the forest forever on the lookout for a tasty morsel of any shape or size. In this e-book only collection of Grizzwells comics, the duo ponders life’s most important questions, such as: When it comes to road kill, is white or dark meat best? How important is presentation when serving up a delicious woodland creature? And which has the worst aftertaste, opossum omelets or stray Chihuahuas? Clever and sharply drawn, The Grizzwells is a funny and unpredictable spin on the traditional family comic strip—with bite. Created by award-winning artist Bill Schorr, it has been in syndication nationally for more than twenty years.
