New York cartoonist/animator Ted Stearn is currently working as a mainstay for MTV animation. His credits include Beavis and Butthead and Daria. His first book collection documents the hilarious adventures of a rather annoyed plucked chicken and a dull but lovable bear.Originally serialised in the popular alternative comics anthology Zero Zero, FUZZ AND PLUCK will surely spark interest in Stearn's vivid imagination and meticulous draughtmanship. A picaresque rom through a surreal world that continually thwarts our protagonists' attempt to live simply.
Fuzz, a stuffed teddy bear escaping from an abusive child, and Pluck, a plucked Rooster on the run from a soup factory, wind up in a strange city where slavery has replaced prisons. They're purchased by a strange couple (The wife has unusual plans for Fuzz..), must fight a giant shrub creature, learn starvation techniques from an emaciated Zen Monkey, and vomit on a baby. If this sounds like fun to you, Fuzz and Pluck would be a wise purchase to make. I mean, who wouldn't love the ornery Pluck, whose cute antics include stealing crutches from old crippled men? I lost count of the times I found myself doubled over with laughter reading this book- Ted Stearn is a genius! The art and dialogue are perfect, and Fantagraphics has created a lovely, affordable package. Looking forward to the sequel, Splitsville. Highly recommended!
