Chocolate Cheeks (2010) GN

1st printing. Scrpts and art by Steven Weissman.

Hilarious, frightening, mysterious, adorable and utterly bleak, Chocolate Cheeks has arrived to disgust and delight comic-book readers of all ages. “Sweet” Chubby Cheeks and the Pullapart Boy (a 21st Century Frankenstein’s monster for kids) are driving each other crazy. Forced together by their dating parents, these two bitter enemies have alienated – or otherwise disposed of – most of their social circle, leaving them with plenty of quality-time for each other. They go camping, start a business, form a band, join a team, try to make some new friends and engage in a “holy war.” Things go from worse to worst, though, when the two boys find a cat – or is it a bird? – one hot, summer day.

Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 7 1/2-in., 120 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $16.99. (note: tiny price sticker on back)
