>> Congratulations to friend of Pre2K Andy Hartzell, whose new graphic novel Fox Bunny Funny was reviewed in this morning's New York Times Review of Books. From the review: Hartzell’s narrative glides along so smoothly that it can take a few readings to notice how clever and nuanced his design sense is. The contrast between the black foxes and the white bunnies lets every page’s composition serve the book’s thematic arc. Twenty years or so pass between the second and third chapters, which he gets across through nothing more than a change in his cartoon fox’s build. There are wicked comedic details everywhere, like the little fox ears atop the foxes’ cars; the two cultures’ written languages (paw prints for foxes, pictures of leaves for bunnies); and the hints that the core of the bunny religion is acceptance of suffering and death in the hope of divine vengeance. It's the perfect holiday gift. Let's all boost Andy's author rank on Amazon.com!
