Gentle reminder: The Metro is a sister newspaper to the Daily Mail (which is a trashy UK tabloid, well known for regularly "reporting" about new things that cause cancer)
Haha, love it! There's definitely a space for forced animal anthromorphization humor. Smart, funny books! Like Madagascar, et al. but adults.
In this case, for example, the first 95% of the story would be from a touching documentary-type narrative, about how smart, thoughtful, loyal etc. penguins are. In the end, we find out Penguin newspapers all have headlines like "Penguin swims 5,00 miles for other personal reasons, calls in on man while he's there. Is treated as a goddam hero" etc.
Just finished reading this book[0] to my kids last night. I wonder: are penguin's social groups especially prone to this kind of interspecies bonding or is this just a one in a billion fluke?
