This is the startling new comic-tragic book from the artist "The Comics Journal" describes as "the scarily young and skillful Dash Shaw." In a pre-Katrina New Orleans, a woman starts dating a younger man who reminds her of her deceased ex-boyfriend. They begin re-enacting scenes from her previous relationship as a psychodrama to correct her haunting past. Replete with Pac-Man ghost spirits, Michael Jackson, children's drawings and deathtrap sandboxes, "The Mother's Mouth" is smarter, unsentimental Blankets that will be the weirdo romance book of 2006. It is not to be missed.
