The Nerdy Bird Adores – Jack of Fables #33

I’ve been in love with Babe the Blue Ox from Jack of Fables since he first arrived. It wasn’t long before everyone realized he was the real star of the book. Hell, the only reason I’m still reading Jack is because of him. A full page has been devoted to his vivid imagination ever since. Honestly, I adore each and every one but I was waiting for something extra special to write one of my posts on. Who knew it would be something as simple as this?

“Have YOU seen a little blue pig?” Awww! Poor Babe never gets the respect he deserves. He’s so confused, it’s adorable! Of course, the gaggle of characters surrounding him adds to the cuteness factor as well. Never have a question mark and two exclamation points said so much. 

This is Part 2 of the 9-part Great Fables Crossover event taking place within three Vertigo titles. Jack of Fables, Fables proper and a new book called The Literals will have three issues each through June. “The Great Fables Crossover is just one, solid, comprehensible story, planned well in advance,” says Aldous Pogue, President of the Anti Great Fables Crossover Society,”[It] makes actual, lasting changes to the fictional Fables universe.” As long as Babe’s still tiny and has a place in that new universe, I’ll be happy.
