Publisher's Synopsis

Tim Kreider's cartoons have attracted a cult following for their razor sharp intelligence and unprecedented viciousness. His mani, spontaneous line and his eye for farcical expression, gesture and detail make his cartoons more than one-shot gags. His humour is both erudite and puerile, his vision of the human condition - that of a man distracted from the vast starship hovering over his city by a glimpse of a pretty girl's ass. You may be ashamed to laugh, but laugh you will.

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.
