A gorgeous piece of comics; it grows out of, and around, absence, the sort of comic so intensely quiet that you could hear the wind rushing through it, and all the more striking for it. A genuinely stunning bit of work and already a favorite.

I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this; the story has a tendency to get lost in itself and in its own excitement, but Schipper's cartooning is gorgeous and just immensely fun to look at.
A book that beautifully articulates the dizzying emotional overwhelm at its core. Franz’s vision of a world that’s just a bit askew overlaps with “dystopia” but diverges into its own independent emotional reality, with gorgeous, rich cartooning. I loved it.
Easily one of the strongest issues of š! that I’ve read so far, with an incredibly wide range of voices I was unfamiliar with (Lai Tat Tat Wing and Nando von Arb are highlights), all celebrating dogs in their own ways. Gorgeous.
