Story Synopsis

The narrative acts as a comedic, surreal loose adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. The plot revolves around Bobby Dougherty, a formerly booze-hound monkey who finds himself newly sober. However, his sobriety is quickly challenged when he falls head-over-heels in love at first sight with a radiant swan named Lucia Serena DelMar.

When Lucia takes flight, Bobby is determined not to lose her. Joined by his loyal friend Jimmy Skunk, the two embark on a dangerous trek across bizarre lands. Along the way, they navigate impossible labyrinths, sail treacherous seas, and dodge a fire-spitting minotaur to win Lucia's heart. Beneath its Looney Tunes-esque humor, the story touches on deeper themes of longing, self-identity, friendship, and trauma.
