And then he happens to intervene in an argument between the beatnik writers and some Wild Ones-esque bikers and then his car happens to be stolen by them. Blacksad happens to need a ride back home and happens to come across an eccentric cowboy millionaire who gives him the keys to his car. Everything about the plot is maddeningly happenstance. But then the feds go after Blacksad after his wallet is found in the car – and the poet’s body in the trunk.Īmarillo is definitely the weakest Blacksad story yet.
