Meet Toby.
Toby lives in a small seaside village with his artist friend Marcel. Toby was once a stray, but Marcel took him in, and they’ve been best friends ever since. Only now, Marcel is going through a rough patch. Broken-hearted and unable to pay the bills, their future is uncertain. It is all beyond Toby’s comprehension, but he’s not worried. As long as there are scraps in his bowl and new neighborhood territories to claim, everything will be fine. What more could a carefree dog want out of life?
A heartwarming canine adventure for dog lovers of all ages by celebrated graphic novelist and triple Eisner Award nominee Gregory Panaccione, this wordless tale proves that you don’t need to share words or language to speak volumes. MY FRIEND TOBY is both adorable and uplifting, with emotional layers that belie its simple exterior.
Told largely from Toby’s canine perspective, readers will be treated to a peek between the ears of Man’s Best Friend, dealing with such critical topics as: a) strange cats, b) new neighbors, c) car rides, d) territory disputes, e) thunderstorms, f) being left alone, g) puppy memories, and oh, so much more.
