Two teens - Daisy and Jean-Claude, one of whom has a portal to another plane in her basement washing machine and dryer - explore a very strange world.

The art is incredible! Gorgeous, constantly changing rainbow line and knotwork to represent the altered mindset/higher plane of existence; black and white, less detailed (but still lovely) for the "normal" world. The teapot! The trolls! The colors! The shapes! All the creatures! The world is at first fun and benign, but as the the girls show more introduce more classmates who do not treat this world with pure intentions things begin to go sour.

This comic is more of an experience than a cohesive story. I enjoyed it primarily for the art, though I definitely felt for the wonderful fantastical creatures. I could look at this for hours. Well worth checking out. show less

A wealthy couple from “the city” take their honeymoon in a remote, dangerous jungle. It’s just them and their elite guide, a man trained to protect them from the horrors of the wild (and prepare them culinary delicacies). Time and again the guide saves the group from sure death — but will their luck run out?

This is a very quick read, so it’s easy to forgive for not having much plot. It’s more of an illustrated poem. The grotesque, geometric artwork & designs are most of the fun show more for me, but it doesn’t hurt that it’s laugh-out-loud funny. show less

This is what I imagine tourism in Area X would look like. Creepy and gross and weird and beautiful!

This was super interesting. Kind of like the graphic novel equivalent to a prose poem. There was a story, but it was more like a poignant paragraph, beautifully illustrated, a complete thought, but most of all it was the space between the story that mattered.
