In Sequence - Comics & Manga for Everyone

Today the Panelists discuss a book that is more of a collection of Instagram posts than a narrative. We discuss our love for Mackesy’s finished but unfinished-looking art and our mixed opinions on the words and narrative in this book. And at the end, there is a reveal that changes everything.

  • (00:00) - “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy
  • (01:03) - Front Matter
  • (01:59) - Impressions
  • (08:14) - Kids don’t talk like this
  • (08:54) - The art style
  • (13:19) - The Structure
  • (19:19) - Metatextuality
  • (21:42) - Further Reading

Further Reading
  • The animated adaptation and the documentary on Apple TV+
  • A continuation titled Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm was released in 2025, if you want more of this!
  • Apparently other Macksesy art might just Be Around You. He’s done political cartoons, a lot of art for charity work, and a lot of art for public spaces, especially in London.
  • The Arrival by Shaun Tan
