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 . It is written by Rhonda Cleary, and the artwork is done by Valentina Brancati, Andrea Greppi, Lorenzo Fornaciari, and Marco Leoni. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite fairytales, so I was eager to see what adventure was in store for Ariel in this graphic novel. In the graphic novel, Princess Ariel joins Prince Eric to Greenland, where the Royal Trading Company is working with the locals to build a port for trade. But when Ariel discovers that the construction is disturbing the Arctic mermaids that live there, and that a conflict between the Arctic mermaids and the humans is brewing, she becomes determined to convince the mermaids and humans to work together to come up with a solution to this issue.

My Cat Robbed a Bank

My cat robbed a bank last night, and it was all over the news.

I was sitting on my couch watching The Lord of the Rings when, at the corner of my eye, I saw my black feline, with a devious sparkle in his green eyes, go through the doggy door. I didn’t think anything of it. Although looking back, this sparkle was more devious than usual. Then I heard a loud screech of a car speeding past my house. I had assumed it was just a stupid person at the wheel.

When I awoke the next morning and flipped the TV to the local news, I saw a video of cats storming a bank and then throwing what the reporter said were catnip smoke bombs. The catnip smoke bombs clouded everyone’s vision, while the cats somehow opened the vault and stole the cash. The news also showed footage of the cats in my neighbor’s silver van driving crazily out of the bank’s parking lot and speeding through the streets, screeching as they made crazy turns. That must have been the screeching I heard last night. My black cat had his paws on the wheel! He was the getaway driver! He swerved past cars and ran through stop lights as police cars were in hot pursuit!

I guess that’s what I get for adopting a cat named Bandit.
