Chocolate Cheeks

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hilarious, frightening, mysterious, adorable and utterly bleak, Chocolate Cheeks has arrived to disgust and delight comic-book readers of all ages. Sweet Chubby Cheeks and the Pullapart Boy (a twenty-first century Frankenstein s monster for kids) are driving each other crazy. Forced together by their dating parents, these two bitter enemies have alienated or otherwise disposed of most of their social circle, leaving them with plenty of quality-time for each other. They go camping, start a business, form a band, join a team, try to make some new friends and engage in a "holy war." Things go from worse to worst, though, when the two boys find a cat or is it a bird? one hot, summer day.Steven Weissman, modern master of light tragedy, is at his most horrible with Chocolate Cheeks, the next great Yikes book from Fantagraphics. Juxtaposing gag-driven, newspaper-fashioned strips with a sprawling, Western comic aesthetic, the book is just gross enough to delight the children.
