Following up Stories From Zoo (Bubbles 2023) Anand is back with three new stories in Zoo #5. Printed offset in India and imported by Bubbles, few shops will have this in stock. For the uninitiated, Anand's stories have the feeling is letting go of a balloon and watching it drift off to unknown territory in the sky. Rooted in a deftly sketched characters with complex psychologies, and unafraid of letting his imagination run wild these stories unfold in unexpected, but always credulous ways. Anand is a gifted story teller on the international comics stage, and his cartooning chops continue to evolve in subtly ways. For reference, there's shades of Lale Westvind and Simon Hanselmann here, but used to his own ends. Themes include prickly sibling relationships, bullies, chance encounter, and plagiarism.
