    1st printing.

    Story and art by Anna Haifisch.

    A collection of absurdist comics short stories navigating etiquette and diplomacy within the vicissitudes of the animal kingdom: from proud ostriches to racist mice, and delicious-looking weasels.

    In Schappi, Anna Haifisch blurs the boundaries between humans and animals in subtle yet absurd ways. In these five collected short stories, carnivores and herbivores meet at a disastrous congress of the animals; we get to know a merciless, art-collecting lizard; and are introduced to dancing ostriches and a melancholy, meditating octopus.

    With singular humor and charm, and a brilliant eye for color, Haifisch tells of the everyday struggle from the prairie to the drawing table, of self-imposed isolation and friendship. At the end of the day, there is hope, even for crying weasels. Haifisch's wry sense of humor reveals many truths lying underneath her absurdist wit. Printed in five gorgeous Pantone inks, Schappi will shine from a bookshelf like a mad husky's iris.

    Anna Haifisch was born in Germany in 1986 and studied illustration at the College of Graphics and Book Art. She is a co-founder of the German comics festival, The Millionaires Club.

    Softcover, 96 pages, full color.

    NOTE: "Haifisch's work is very funny [with] a charming, scratchy line and a faintly unsettling colour palette."-The Quietus
