Published Apr 2001 by Alternative Comics.$2.50
2nd & later printings. Stories and Art by Tomer and Asaf Hanuka (with Etgar Keret). Tomer and Asaf Hanuka are twins. They share a similar genetic structure but were raised in different places. This condition creates a special tension between their stories and styles and is the foundation of their award-winning Bipolar series. "Time Strips" examines the different identities we wear as our life evolves and the way these identities interact if they were to exist on one time line. "Pizzeria Kamikaze" is about a guy with a broken heart who committed suicide only to find himself at Pizzeria Kamikaze, a regular day job in a world where everyone died before and now it's about passing time. "I Love You" examines how much of ourselves we project onto others. By using story lines, the myth of relationships is explored under highly opposite environments. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.
