Publisher's Synopsis

The work in Mindviscosity has been created in the wake of Furie's transformative experience as the creator of Pepe the Frog - a character meant to provoke joy and laughter only to be appropriated and subverted by others for genuinely sinister purposes. Furie's recent paintings seemed leavened by his experience, as his unsettling menagerie of creatures seem content to withhold their true intent. Despite Furie's use of inviting colours and friendly cartoon iconography, Furie's richly visual imagination plumbs darker depths.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
