"The Mockery of It..."


On the surface it seems a fairly frivolous idea, I suppose. Make a comics version of a novel instantly recognizable but, to most people, completely oblique and difficult to read.
Hell, maybe even use funny animals to make the character types more distinctive. People love funny animals, right?
But I take Joyce, and comics, pretty seriously and it became clear that any respectable adaptation of that one thing I love into that other form which I love equally was, in fact, serious business.
So Bloom would not be a bunny.
