StockID: 162174 SKU: 0925FB0746
Dogtangle opens with a town hall meeting in a Taco Bell nestled in the bland corporate environment of Business Park. A man- bleating to anyone who will listen about the evils of current zoning laws- meets a woman who works in pharmaceutical marketing. They begin a relationship. They get married. From their union springs the idea of the Hypermutt: a many-headed mass of dogs that absorbs each new dog it encounters. This debut graphic novel from Chicago cartoonist Max Huffman- about an awful power couple who defy God and nature in creating a hound of hell for our times- is at turns a rich satirical fable- a white-collar black comedy- and a stylistic tour de force blending elements of abstraction- cubism- mid-century modernism- and visual sight gags. One of the most visually distinctive and funny graphic novels in recent memory- Dogtangle is also underpinned with a deep mistrust of corporate and cultural hegemony- cementing its relevance in our increasingly oligarchal times.
