A 1957 zoo escape, reimagined
Set in 1957, Arianna Irwin’s historical graphic novel imagines the Bronx Zoo escape of Penelope, a platypus facing an assigned mate, Cecil. The publisher describes the account as fictionalized while identifying the escape itself as based on true events. Penelope’s departure and the unlikely allies who help her are the central elements provided, placing an animal’s bid for escape within a historical setting. The premise also raises questions of confinement and choice, with the story framed around Penelope’s refusal of a future decided for her.
