John works as a comics and magazine editor, writer, and on promotional work for the Lakes International Comic Art Festival. Of course, the only thing she’s going to learn from them is that life in the Woods is very, very silly indeed! Laughs will be aplenty in the hit comic book sensation! Monkey, however, isn’t alone. He teams up with his own friends, including Skunky, an evil genius creating huge, monstrous inventions. As the animals go to war, it’s good vs evil, nature vs science, and these quiet woods are about to get considerably noisier.Problems are exacerbated by the other unconventional Crinkle creatures, particularly a skunk called Skunky who has a mad scientist’s attitude to life and a propensity to build extremely dangerous robots and super-weapons… Le Fox is ‘An Old Friend’ resolved to help the animals survive, and his strategic advice is welcome, but the turning point comes in ‘Clash of the Robots’ as Metal Monkey and Steve duel, even as their mecha-mistress takes charge, unleashing DNA-altering microbots that put the fleshy freedom fighters to flight in ‘Uh-Oh-Nano!’ Falling foul of another near-lethal prank the silly simian is scientifically resurrected and evolved in ‘Curse of the Monkey’ only to trip on his own incompetence and barely escape a fishy final fate in ‘Toilet Run!’ Bunny vs. Monkey has been a staple of The Phoenix since the very first issue in 2012: recounting a madcap vendetta gripping animal arch-enemies set amidst an idyllic arcadia masquerading as more-or-less mundane but critically endangered English woodlands.

As the animals all gather to help Bunny repair his much-abused house, universal innocents Weenie squirrel and Pig Piggerton are more keen than skilled, with no idea that cheese is not a suitable substitute for wallpaper paste, plaster or cement…How can you not love a book which includes the lines ‘Skunky, do NOT use the interdimensional portal-opening device!’ and ‘This time next year, we’ll all be wearing chutney’ or indeed, ‘Où est l’Action Beaver?’ But lines like these are only one of the pleasures of Jamie Smart’s comic strip adventures, Bunny vs Monkey.

Once that menace vanishes into vapour, the mostly organic animals unite to formulate ‘Some Kind of Plan’ for fighting E.V.E. – all except ‘Nurse Monkey’ who’s keen to explore other lifestyles – before reenlisting in ‘Roll Up! Roll Up!’ with a barmy spinning machine. It has no chance of easing their plight but will probably end their lives before she does… Problems are exacerbated by other unconventional Crinkle creatures, particularly a skunk called Skunky who has a mad scientist’s attitude to life and a gift for building robots and super-weapons… New Bunny Vs Monkey book prompts an EPIC book signing by Jamie Smart! – downthetubes.net downthetubes.net It's a new approach to non-fiction, taking key scientific subjects and presenting them in a way that's hugely entertaining and readable, whilst still presenting reliable, serious, in-depth information that will help readers gain a true and lasting understanding of these crucial topics.

What he has actually discovered is a group of misfit animals, many of whom aren’t that keen on Monkey’s plans for becoming their new ruler.
