Dog Biscuits
Social justice, "woke" culture, social media, gender
dynamics, and insouciance intersect in this pandemicinspired
graphic novel about the repercussions of making
mistakes.
It's July 2020 in Seattle. Gussy struggles to keep his dog biscuit boutique
afloat while a global pandemic rages unchecked. The loneliness of lockdown
and social distancing drives his employee Rosie to betray her principles.
Rosie's roommate Hissy is at a personal crossroads. A love triangle
emerges as they find themselves tangled in a web of police brutality, protests,
drugs, dating apps, and Covid chaos. Taking place over the course
of just a few days, this is a snapshot of humanity - okay, animals - in
crisis. Alex Graham's pandemic-inspired graphic novel was initially serialized
six panels at a time on Instagram during the lockdowns of 2020 and
became one of the most talked about comics of the year; this hardcover
edition will remain a timeless work long after the pandemic ends.
