|title=The Bojeffries Saga
|author=Alan Moore and Steve Parkhouse
|rating=5
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=A very truncated history of comics will start with the idea that they should be funny strips – one jape then you're out; then that they should have more – perhaps a superhero; then that you can have so much more than just a superhero – witness the works of [[:Category:Alan Moore|Alan Moore]]. But you mustn't be too surprised to see the whole thing come around in a full cycle. Because Alan Moore has, with this volume, concluded his own funny strip japery, and whatever history or greater opinions about the canon of comix might say, it's just about his best ever book.

|summary=Flobba dob. Eh-oh. Or should I just stop the words completely and communicate with a swanee whistle? From the Flowerpot Men to the Teletubbies via the Clangers, the substitution of ‘real’ words with made up language and sounds has always been controversial. So I’ll level with you straight away and spoil the ‘surprise’ of ''The Farmer’s Away! Baa! Neigh!'' by revealing that, bar the title, there are no proper words in this book. When this book is described as being told ''in the animals’ own words'' it means quite literally that. Barks. Hisses. Neighs. Cheeps. And lots of them. For 32 pages.
