Van Dog, Hardcover

A hybrid comic and seek-and-find book that contemplates art and creativity Van Dog rides to the countryside to paint a landscape one day. As he mounts his easel, mixes his paints, and contemplates the scenery, the landscape slowly unfolds in weird and wonderful ways: a snail nibbles on a mushroom, ants gather to work, and a giant lizard monster sets off on a journey to Tokyo. As the landscape becomes busier and busier, Van Dog struggles to finish his painting--but is he overwhelmed by his subject, or is the richness of the countryside precisely what inspires him?
