You'll keep thinking about it days after reading it

A beautiful and evocative visual story. Metaphorically deep and accessible to a wide age range. Highly recommended.

Hartzell, Andy-- Handy

This is not a fuzzy-wuzzy comic book. It's not something to give your kids when they're done with their latest issue of Donald Duck Goes To Happyland. This is hardcore, down-and-dirty, mess-with-your-head weirdness. And we can all thank Hartzell he took the effort to make it for us. Andy's a talented guy; there's no escaping that. His earlier works, from the "Edna" series to his weighty "Monday," demonstrated his talent in both storytelling and pure art. His capability to lambaste the reader with emotion, using only line drawings, is remarkable. And, like "Monday," "FBF" deals with weighty subjects...and doesn't use words. Okay, for most writers, this would be a brutal undertaking-- punishment of the worst sort. "You want me to deal with WHAT? Without using any WORDS???" But Hartzell can not only do it, he does it with a stark simplicity that probably conducts fear, horror, hatred, joy, and happiness better than prose can do...or has done. FBF deals with The Other in a society; the easiest analogies are right there in front of you, barely hidden by the symbolism...but I think there are deeper, more universal feelings there, too. Can a character with a different agenda from those in a shared society, a character with an affinity for the taboo, subliminate its own needs for the sake of fitting in? And how far does that carry? And what else is there? Hartzell goes at these questions with an ink pen that could be a metaphorical sledgehammer. Let him hit you in the forehead. It's worth it.
