A goofy and lonely denizen of the jungle has just one talent — scaring other creatures with his big， scary teeth! What would he do without them?

The witty Jarvis ("Lazy Dave") makes all the right moves， drawing Alan’s jungle world with his usual loose， jagged charm.

Jarvis (Lazy Dave) strikes a brisk， matter-of-fact tone that’s spot-on for his overconfident， inconsiderate hero， and he ties up the loose ends of the story with a clever best-of-both-worlds twist. His pictures are even better...They’re gorgeous—and thanks to his accomplished cartooning， they’re funny， too.
