Feels like a classic Looney Toons story

I enjoyed the story overall. It was humorous and strange. The characters were all kinda one note, but it added to the cartoony feel. I couldn't help but picture the main character (I can't remember his name) as Elmer Fudd with a bit of a drinking problem.

Fun & unintentional adventure

This was such a quick lighthearted and funny read! I found myself giggling constantly and I could see myself sitting around a campfire while someone tells this story.
