Description

Banana Sunday, the classic story by Eisner Award-winning Bandette co-creators Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover, is now presented in full color, with a brand-new introduction and bonus materials! Kirby Steinberg is having trouble fitting into her new school. As the guardian of three talking primates, she faces unique challenges. Chuck, the professorial orangutan, Knobby, the love-stricken spider monkey, and Go-Go, the befuddled golden gorilla, all have learned to speak through her father's scientific processes. Kirby's best friend and school reporter, Nickels, is determined to uncover their real story. Amidst handling her relationship with Martin, avoiding Skye, and managing the primates' antics, Kirby struggles to hide the true origin of the simians from Nickels.
