No shame in self-promo on this website, alright? This Squanch Blog coverage is considerably one of the best online articles ever published. That’s a pretty big claim, but would we ever lie to you? Don’t answer that. Anyways...
“Klover and Bo are personal messes of mine that I created to enjoy to along this ride,” says comic author Tess Stone. “I always liked characters that are hot disasters. And so that's kind of what they are–hot disasters completely two different ways.”

Breaking the fourth wall, working the ICJ, and...MURDER? Yup, even Roiland describes the comic series as “a fun mystery, whodunit story following these two characters that are new to the universe but fit in perfectly.”
This is a very clickable story. Super clickable. Some may say it’s *the* most essential click for any comic enthusiast reading this blog post. And you can click on it HERE! And if you don’t like reading, there are still some cool pictures you can look at. That’s the easy way out, but we don’t judge.

“Further, the various jabs and exchanges between the protagonists, Klover and Bo are hilarious. Stone constructs a multi-layered tale full of drama, comedy, and suspense that moves at a breakneck pace.”
“The adventurous tone of the book coupled with the bold color changes from panel to panel makes for a wonderful reading experience.”
