If you had to pick an example of a book to show someone where comics are now and why they should start hunting out the best examples of the art form, your best bet is to start here. The book is absolutely beautiful, black panel borders leading to immaculate artwork that has so much energy and uses simple cartoon figures to drive funny and hideously tragic richly emotional scenes home and, if you stand back, is obsessive in it's minute details with thousands of tiny brush strokes creating and recreating the sea and shadows like the most intricate woodcut. The interlocking stories of loneliness abandonment and loss both chosen and the result of fate take simple pictures and characters and make you feel heartbroken at their stories but you wouldn't make that investment in them if they weren't full and rich characters with the capacity for happiness and joy. It's hard to say anymore, look at the sample pages and buy it! Review: The blue print? - I dont have GBCR in front of me and I don't have a great deal of knowledge regarding publications of this kind so forgive my ignorance and please resist the urge to part the veil but to me this seems like the blueprint for the current affection for all things a bit 'Man-imation' and 'Man-apausal'. The current adult flecked humour in children's shows and heavy sentiment referenced in a sound bite during childrens hour programming hints at a cloying for the simpler times of childhood by their no doubt nearing pre-middle aged designers. The supposed innocence of this nostalgia is cast aside in GBCR and it peels the onion regarding friendship and the end of relationships, the fear of the new and the wisdom of strangers. It also employs a plain speaking narrator and if he were to cast an eye over the blah I've just pecked into the keyboard he might- in his (pre?) Gumpian dialect spout the blunt but true dictum "Fine words butter no parsnips". Me likes it it good. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,459,506 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 18,802 in Magic & Fantasy Graphic Novels 37,819 in General Humour 113,160 in Teen & Young Adult (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (96) | | Dimensions | 16.71 x 1.12 x 20.27 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0375714766 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0375714764 | | Item weight | 295 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Pantheon Graphic Library | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | 5 Aug. 2015 | | Publisher | Pantheon Books | | Reading age | 12 - 17 years | ## Images ![Good-Bye, Chunky Rice (Pantheon Graphic Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yEXcjAJtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly moving story *by M***R on 27 September 2007* Goodbye Chunky Rice is absolutely amazing.

Mister Chunky Rice, a turtle, is restless so he decides to leave his dearest friend, a mouse, Dandel and boards a boat in search of adventure. This graphic novel is rich with emotion and soul dealing with issues of loss, friendship and loneliness. While it deals with longing and missing someone there are also lighthearted moments and quirky characters, such as Captain Chunk and Livonia and Ruth the Siamese Twins "who are linked for life like the frigging chain gang". The story and artwork are beautifully woven and masterfully done. There are moments of quietness and reflection, depicted in the stillness of the water, the sunset, the empty sky and the wonderful seascapes. The book itself isn't long, perhaps short by graphic novel standards but it's the little truths and the emotion that Craig Thompson captures so eloquently that makes this book great. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/58985876-good-bye-chunky-rice-pantheon-graphic-library](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/58985876-good-bye-chunky-rice-pantheon-graphic-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
