I was offered a free copy of this book for a review.  I bought it instead.I've not read a graphic novel before and was pleasantly surprised by this short story.  The pictures were good adding to the story.  The rhyme made the story even better.  Three men, a butcher, baker and candlestick maker, are victims of an extortion plan by a Mafia boss.  They must pay him and the result is that they are working for little or no money for themselves.This is an entertaining and clever story but certainly not for school age children.  The sexual references are inappropriate for all but, maybe, some high school students.  While short, the story is engaging and by the end you are ready for the next one.  I can't wait to discover "the elaborate plan."The third page contains the words, "and without further a due....."  While this might be a little pun about monies due, it is disconcerting to this retired English teacher.  The word is ado.  Hence, the loss of half a star.All in all this is a very entertaining, very quick read.
