Diego is new to town. He's a seal, on crutches, but don't raise an eyebrow at that - you won't have enough left to raise at what follows, when he is hounded by a singing professorial claque who go about grooming him for being a very public, hopeful figure. Observing all of this is the devil (a dwarf in check dungarees, of course), who wants Diego for his own purposes...

The best graphic novel for the completely, successfully odd, stranger-in-a-strange city story, remains [[The Arrival by Shaun Tan]].
