I learned about the existence of this book almost one year ago and the story is pretty fun:
Do you remember this guy?
If you do you grunt when you get up from the chair. If you don't, this was a meme from 2009, when the internet was a way different place.
This meme came back to my mind last year, when I was talking with a friend and they didn't remember it, so I googled it and found out that his name was Gerry Alanguilan and he was a comic writer from the Philippines. And I found out that the guy, other than being a renowned inker both for Marvel and DC, also drew and wrote Elmer, a satyrical and dystopian story staged in a world where chickens become sentient.
The plot was so appealing that I started deep diving to find about this book I never heard about: the worldwide promotional tour for this comic had to be cancelled due to a sudden illness of the author, so it never took off and remained pretty obscure and hard to find, expecially in Europe, where it had a limited printing but only in France and UK.
I managed to find a copy on eBay last month that could be shipped here and now I'm glad I can finally read it.
