Visual: ****
It felt like he was having fun drawing characters THEN figured how to make it into a story. Why were the mermaid's breasts so impossibly pointing<{to}>side?
Narrative: **
Very primal and even carnal fun- the urges of nature and their renewal. I giggled upon noticing the wood joke at the finish!
