Summary: Pointless
Comment: Sorry, not impressed. I haven't read anything else by Cooper, but this particular book reads like a not very good variation on ideas which were revolutionary when Robert Crumb used them in the 60s. There's nothing shocking or original or unique in telling a story of adolesence and confused sexual identity with cartoon animals portraying people, it was done many times before. The whole story is a pointless collection of very pointless stories, the only point of the whole thing being a rather obvious, cheap psychological, contreversial-like (only it isn't) message about sexual abuse and homosexuality. If you don't have an original approach, at least try to approach a subject that was less overdone.

So why three stars? For the artwork. It's really quite good, especially the large surrealistic landscapes. The book could have been much better if it was all just full-panel landscape shots. Cooper's black and white work is excellent, and the character design is also very nice. If you're into black and white comics - and if you're into comics mainly for the artwork - you'll enjoy this. If you're a big fan of underground comix, you'll enjoy this too. But it's by far not one of the best in the genre. Try 'Lenore', 'Johnny the Homocidal Maniac', anything by Daniel Clowes, Will Eisner or R. Crumb.
