Existential, anthropomorphic, strange and sprawling. The art is simple, bright and surreal and the characters are excellent. I picked this up on a whim and I'm now very excited to check out more of DeForge's work.

I really liked this- the drawing style is excellent, but it was the very human emotions, both relatable and reprehensible that sealed the deal. I saw alot of my own relationships in this book, god help all of us.

Instantly enthralling. I too want to fuck a living thing as it lies trapped in a spiderweb.

Nothing like a book about the violent and ever-fleeting life of an ant to remind you that all your human problems are NOT real problems. A humorous & irreverent feast for the eyes.
