Tough

In Altuniğne’s cartoon-story of exile, Bobo ensures that the cat brother passes through a troublesome checkpoint without a problem by being cute. The pawed friends were also significantly affected by the exile, as they were separated from their families, endured difficult journeys, and had to live in unfamiliar surroundings. Some of them even traveled with fake documents. Some of them, like Bobo, passed away in exile. Altuniğne’s narrative Tough is valuable for considering the exile of those pawed friends. It also provides a unique vantage point from which to evaluate exile, accompanied by a particular alienation effect.
