Thoughts on The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel

I’ve been in the mood for fantasy stories and mermaids lately, so I was happy to get The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel .

“That was the perfect marketing strategy. Too bad I had my gun license taken away. Oh well, I’ll lower the price. You can have an inflated balloon with the string for 2 dollars. How ‘bout it?”

“On second thought, I change my mind. Have a nice day.”
