Beskrivning

A serial buddy comedy like no other from the mind of Cedar Van Tassel. Cartoonist Cedar Van Tassel has created the great new comic strip of the modern era: a perfect jewel in an underappreciated genre in the comics field the serial buddy comedy. Using rural agriculture as a stepping-off point, he tackles climate change, small-town politics, psychedelics, mysticism, and friendship. Appleguy and Beefwood s rapid-fire dialogue and tightly wound humour is reminiscent of classic buddy comics as wide-ranging as Calvin and Hobbes or Mutt and Jeff. Van Tassel s wiry, delightfully jagged characters walk and talk as the world grows both physically and spiritually around them. This approachably hilarious take on the existential and esoteric distills the absurdities of the modern everyday into four panels with forthright wit and a discerning eye.

Recensioner i media

“Van Tassel writes and draws like a prairie grass root system in the deep soil of weird America. Cosmic and funny and friendly and terrifying, like Cow Tools, or like a face in a tree trunk that blinks and says something. Katchor drives a Tuff-bilt. This book is killer, a triumph.” —Kevin Huizenga“I’ll be danged if these aren’t some of the best comics around right now… funny, literate, sensitive, weird, joyful... and Van Tassel has perfect cartoonist’s timing. These things are great!” —John Porcellino
