Strange little comic about a mouse named Charlie who wants to be a writer. Charlie lives by himself, enjoying his solitude, until strangers begin to intrude and make him realize that maybe being alone all the time isn't so great. With no inspiration for his writing, he ventures outside of his home, getting caught up in the carnival taking place in town, and finally finding the inspiration he's been missing.

This is a quirky read that missed the mark with me. I found the character designs weird, and I failed to connect with Charlie's search for inspiration. Charlie realizes that fear has been holding him back from all of the wonderful experiences of life, and once he finally lets go of his fear, he can finally overcome the writers block that has plagued him. I never felt engaged in the story, so Charlie's triumph lacked satisfaction for me.
