We will launch a hedgehog to the moon. Not because it is the easy thing. But because it is the fun thing. And because we can buy him wee hats and goggles to wear while doing it...

Blacksad written by Juan Diaz Canales, art by Juanjo Guarnido, letters by Studio Cutie
The award-laden Blacksad is an excellent addition to any noir fan's library. Private eye John Blacksad fits in perfectly with the ranks of Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade. Even if he is a kitty cat. Canales masterfully uses the anthromorphic animal concept to add into the traditional noir stories. From murdered actresses to racist hate groups to Communist witch hunts. Of course the whole thing works so well because of the tremendous talent of Juanjo Guarnido. I mean look at this panel.

If a cat were to angrily smoke a cigarette this is exactly how they would look...
