Product info

A surprisingly melancholy tale of a dog, raccoon and a deer left behind to scavenge food after a human apocalypse. [...] Lee's creating a nice tension by setting her funny-animal-comix against the bleakly beautiful backdrop of an empty, semi-ruined suburbia. -NPR Both readers inhabiting economically depressed communities and those comfortably distanced from them will shudder as they plod alongside this deteriorating group of increasingly edgy friends. [...] Grim, deeply affecting, and timely. -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW A simple yet absorbing tale of friendship and survival in a postapocalyptic world. [...] Lee's expansive universe of anthropomorphic animals comes alive through her spare use of detail: her verbal worldbuilding gives readers just enough information about animal society and what came before to spark the imagination, and vivid, expressive cartooning fills in the gaps. The result is a quiet, heartbreaking new installment in what promises to be a tremendously imaginative serial. -Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW Contemporary fiction is full of postapocalyptic stories, but Lee's sly comic, about animals left behind after humans disappear, stands apart. [...] The ample depth of feeling and intriguing backstory are in captivating complement to Lee's artwork--against saturated, jewel-toned backgrounds of the ravaged landscape, her cartoonish, stylized animals, with their slouching tube socks and churlish attitudes, have a lighthearted, almost playful look. -Booklist, STARRED REVIEW Bright colors and bouncy drawings carry this story of friendship, trust, and fear. [...] it's a bite-sized treat of a book. -The Comics Journal Lee's superb world-building immediately answers any questions new readers may have about the setting, and each character is expressive and endearing [...] Only a cold-hearted reader wouldn't root for these precious, punk animal teens immediately. -Women Write About Comics
