edit data

Born in the San Joaquin Valley in California to Mexican immigrant parents, Adan Jimenez became an immigrant himself when he moved to Singapore after completing his studies at New York University. He has worked for comic book stores, book stores, and gaming stores. And a hoagie sandwich shop once. He loves comics, LEGOs, books, games (analog and video), Doctor Who, sandwiches, and his wife, Felicia. Not necessarily in that order, though.

This was a nice slice-of-life low-stakes story of a young frog going on a small adventure with two toads. The line art is amazing and the little frog is a great protagonist because he’s excited by every new thing he sees, which will be new to most (a ...more
