We open the tale with a scene of how the snow is still thick on the ground and Bone is out sourcing for his necessities when we see a Possum mom and kids coming by where the mom seems happily ignorant of anything beyond her daily life and routines. The kids are adorable. Active and fun and Bone ended up babysitting them
Hilarity ensues as he tries to figure out how to control them. The good thing is at this stage, even though we see the rat creatures and the dragon, the tale is generally lighthearted ...
And we get to see the kids being kids running out from Bone's wooden home ... encountering as usual the rat creatures ... from issue one who are as stupid as ever ... and we literally laughed at the scene where Bone ran and fell hopping onto a tiny branch thinking he would be safe because the branch is too tiny to support the weight of single rat creature and thus he was not expecting the rats to join him ... only to his utter shock both rats leapt onto the branch and ... SNAP ... hence the famous line of stupid, stupid rat creatures
Ending is a nice surprise when Bone finally met the person he was seeking ... Rose ... and the beautiful clean line work immediately changes in tone both obvious like heart shaped symbols and soft like the entire background changes .... so so so good!
