He's a fox, he wears a Zorro mask, has 'Zoro'
as part of his name (we'll
forgive the missing 'r'), the blighter gets up to mischief, he
unleashes belches and farts, and even has his nose shot off by a
laser...
How was I ever going to be able to resist Kaiketsu Zorori, aka
Incredible Zorori, a character created by Japanese writer/illustrator
Yukata Hara, a man who also apparently wrote a tome called The Famous Fried Chicken Primary School.
To be honest, I was all set to do something this month that segued into a
surreal Japan, the twisted lives of geisha and/or a warped afterlife,
to coincide with the publication on October 16th of my new novel One Hundred Years of Vicissitude.
But my daughter Cocoa just got back from the public library with her
latest batch of the adventures of her hero Zorori, and I of course sat
down to read over her shoulder. Surreal it is - comic adventures through
a world populated by madcap animals and oddball beasties.
Cocoa has a lot to get through, and you can read more about Zorori @ Forces Of Geek.
