This was a quite good read. It was quite fast paced too.
overall it was a nice read.
I felt that the colour of the illustrations could be better.

There's a lot of kid appeal in these illustrations. Many kids gravitate toward a classic graphic novel style and this will do the trick.

Strange little comic. Some beautiful art, and a story that takes a strange turn towards the end. The main character is a bit nondescript - she's a feisty type, aaaand that's about it, personality-wise. Still, not bad, just slightly confounding.

Interesting look at a Dutch comic strip from a few years back – a Dutch comic strip that doesn't have a page to itself on Dutch wikipedia, mind, so might it not be low priority when it comes to translation? Well, either way it's not too bad at all – really quite old-school qualities give a timeless feel to the story of how a young Inuit girl and her mad professor guardian manage to find and best a genie in a lamp (or rather, a djinn in a teapot). The first story here looks at setting the scene and characters, and doesn't really do much, but the second one where the wishes are made in full flow and the wackiness of the characters and situations of this world get to shine is much more engaging.

I don't think that if this had come out in the 1930s (which at times doesn't feel at all impossible) it would have had the same gaudy colouring as here – and by gaudy I don't mean a thousand colours on the same panel, I mean a huge switch in colour scheme from frame and frame, even of the same scene. This does have some naive childishness in its presentation, to be sure. But I think that early comic book naivety is part of the appeal. It doesn't really earn a full four stars – the first chapter is just too slight – but it's on its way there. Stupidly, there is only one other story to be had in this series, which at about 44pp really should have been presented here to give the complete set in one. Not to do so is just a bit too greedy, so the fourth star has been dropped.

I liked the art and the way this story was presented, but the delivery of the dialogue seemed choppy and I had to adjust to the pacing. The story as a whole is not going to be for everyone, to me the message behind it felt like a pessimistic nihilist viewpoint of the world.



****Possible slight spoiler of the underlining story****

It felt like being told to accept the world as it is and don't try to change anything, because even the smallest shake in the ocean could turn into a tsunami, so just accept it and learn to enjoy the smaller things instead.
