From pregnancy, runts, to the danger of death in large litters, Olga's third(and final?) Book covers it all. The situation being dealt with is more chaotic than ever but full of characters and fun.

Despite being so young, Olga faces The perils of raising multiple children basically. With up to half a dozen little babies running around and one additional olgamus: the runt. She is really busy.

But, as has been shown in the last two books, she has started to make friends, and with friends comes help. Olga might have been bold in the first book and thought she needed no one but by the third book she knows she needs her friends. Even if she doesn't fully understand them or their interest. She has grown so much as a character and such few words.

Well it still expressing selfishness as in not wanting to give the babies away to anybody, Olga still makes do and raises the kids by herself.

Several of the babies develop different features, one turns dark, one develops a varieties of stripes, and one gets spots. But one, the runt, Mu is the outlier. It gets worse when he is kicked out and left a fend for himself, very young and slowly deteriorating into near lifelessness.

Mu's brush with death certainly scares everyone. Including his mother, Meh.

From thorrable to smad, Olga isn't in it alone. Self-aware, crude, organ-stuffed, and wholesome, this trilogy is a ride for sure.

A great conclusion to what started as a girl going at the world alone.

5 stars.

Another comic that had my kid's imagination running wild for months -- in a good way. Funny and well-drawn artwork, completely silly descriptions and some nice subtext about taking care of your pets.

Even my teenagers wanted to sit down and listen to this graphic novel. Full of fascinating facts about crows, and just plain hilarious.
