    About this ebook

    Friends Is Friends tells the story of complicated friendships through a series of funny, bittersweet vignettes. Greg Cook's deceptively sweet storybook world is imbued with grown-up humor that is both dark and whimsical. The result is a fable for adults, where the only clear moral is this: friendship isn't easy, whether you're a hobo or a snowman or a ghost.

    Friends Is Friends is indie-favorite Greg Cook's first major work in over a decade. This long-awaited tragicomedy is a great stand-alone work for both new and established graphic novel readers.

      This is a seriesof interconnected shorts. It's rather odd and while I liked it it really wasn't my thing. I prefer a continuous narrative. These shortsare the type of thing you find in the comics or on a webcomic. All together they do tell a tale of some pretty quirky people. We start off with the drunken elephant hobo who is befriended by a boy pig on a scooter. The pig meets a dead bear ghost and later on meets a bear in a diaper whothe ghost is pretending to be. Later on the pig's sister and mother come onto the scene. The story is about friends who aren't really very good at being friends but everything turns out all right by the end. I don't know who the intended audience is though. Overall, it works well for kids being cute in a quirky, odd way and easy to read. However the first few shorts have very foul lanuage and then there is the continuous drunken drinking theme and the elephant remembers back to a lady elephant he liked but he cheated onher. Sooooo ... some adult situations make it probably not fr kids.
