    1st printing. Story and art by Andy Hartzell. The rules are simple: you're either a fox or a bunny. Foxes oppress and devour, and bunnies suffer and die. Everyone knows their place. Everyone's satisfied. So what happens when a secret desire puts you at odds with your society? Starting from a simple premise - and without using a single word - Fox Bunny Funny leads the reader on a zigzag chase in and out of rabbit holes and through increasingly strange landscapes where funny animals have serious identity problems. The tale swerves from slapstick to horror and back again before landing at the inevitable climax, in which all the old rules shatter. When you emerge, you'll find yourself gazing at our fragmenting society with new eyes. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 104 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.99.

Filled with Starr's signature wit, warmth, and observational humor, Mama Needs a Minute! tackles all the absurdities of mom life and will make you laugh, cry, and feel seen in a way only a true mom-friend can offer.
