Niitu and Chips: Childhood Moments
Niitu and Chips are two best friends, one of whom just happens to be a seal. In this collection of comic strips, Niitu and Chips tackle everything from building the perfect fort to video games to how to eat only the marshmallows out of the breakfast cereal without Mom noticing.
Witty and heartwarming, these strips illustrate the ups and downs of childhood as seen through the eyes of a creative kid and his seal best buddy. Written in the sweet and silly tradition of Calvin and Hobbs, this collection is sure to cheer kids and adults alike.
