Heaven's Design Team 1

God created the heavens and the Earth -- but, little-known fact, he outsourced the

animals to the office of Heaven's Design Team! This hilarious and educational

manga features weird real-life animals and puts even some humdrum critters in a

strange new light.

On the seventh day, God rested. But it turns out He started getting tired

long before... In fact, when it came time to design the animals, God contracted

the whole thing out to an agency... Heaven's Design Team! They love their

work -- the giraffe, the koala, the ping-pong tree sponge(?!) -- but their divine

client's demands are often vague, and the results are sometimes wild in more

ways than one. Then there's prototyping and testing to worry about, not to

mention Ms. Pluto's penchant for grotesque and Mr. Saturn, who just wants to

make everything look like a horse... But in the end, all creatures great and

small get their due!
