The Narzat lives in the Ungle Bungle Jungle with his friends the Looky Looky Lizard (a feisty reptile who communicates through sign language) and the Chatty Chiwunga (a comically talkative bird who never shuts up). Little is known about how the Narzat arrived there, but he wears a necklace bearing a meaningful inscription.
The Ungle Bungle Jungle is full of animals you'd love to meet but some, like the roaring Ravenoserous are absolutely lethal.
One day two villains arrive, Lord and Lady Snide armed with guns and a fierce desire for furs and the Narzat's necklace. Can the Ungle Bungle Jungle defeat the two awesome newcomers and their wicked plans? Themes of friendship and the importance of just being yourself— no matter what!
A brilliant comic debut with captivating fantasy animal characters and a plot full of surprises!
