Irresistible collection of outrageous visual puns imaginatively embroiders upon the physical features of familiar animals to produce a mutated menagerie of impossible creatures. Includes the eargull, with the head of the national bird and a body comprised of a huge human ear; a beebra — a zebra with bee's wings — and 58 other rib-tickling whatchamacallits.
