Fuzz and Pluck

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!

Probably the best comics-book I ever read. Funny and sad at the same time - and that on a very high level.

This is an incredible book. Ted Stearn is an inspired and talented author. His artwork is something to behold.

Ted Stearn is a genius! He captures life's ironies in a way that is unique and believable.
