Pear Shape
A good old fashioned underground comic for our current times: a heady bouillabaisse of humor, philosophy, profanity, absurdism, and existentialism.
From the pen of multi-talented indie musician (Islands, Unicorns) and cartoonist (Penguins) Nick Thorburn comes this perfect object of the comic book form. A 64-page color one-shot menagerie of interconnected comic strips that smartly channels the tradition of underground comix.
Find out why those smarty pants at The Believer magazine say, "Thorburn makes sharp social commentary through a series of dark humour vignettes that revolve around macabre body horror, dalliances into the absurd, and the sociopolitical intricacies of human existence."
