I was disappointed by this graphic novel. Huffman's story starts out pretty promising, with a good mix of absurdism and satire, but once we venture beyond the portion of the story mentioned specifically in the synopsis (the power couple meeting at the Taco Bell town hall meeting, getting together, and inventing their dogtangle creation) things get way more unclear and confusing.

Huffman's art style definitely represents a clear and unique vision, and I did enjoy the visuals, but they are not very effective at carrying the plot of this narrative. Huffman's spreads lack visual depth, making actions difficult to perceive. Even more frustrating is endeavoring to tell his characters apart; the cast of this book is introduced willy-nilly, and many characters appear virtually identical in Huffman's cubist/abstract-inspired art style.

This may be worth reading or browsing through for someone interested in absurdist stories or the styles of art Huffman experiments with here, but otherwise I would not recommend.

This is a really strange graphic that draws on some classic comic styles while feeling one of a kind and independent in voice. It’s absurd, kind of funny, and thought-provoking while being absurd and just straight up weird. Not my favorite book ever but I really appreciate the style and you won’t read anything else quite like it

It takes a lot to get an audible laugh out of me, but Dogtangle managed to do it multiple times (along with a few gasps). The absurdity and humor, along with the incredible art, had me flying through this work. I hope we can all get our own Hypermutts some day!

I just didn't get this one. I found the drawing style off putting and disorienting and the story difficult to follow due to the small lettering. I'm sure other people will love it, but it just wasn't for me
