By Jessica Abel. Part one of a five part series by Artbabe creator Jessica Abel. The Harvey Award-winning comic that taps into that continuing slacker-culture-gestalt is back with a worldly five-issue story! In the first issue we meet Carla, an American whose absent father is Mexican, but she is culturally Anglo. She forms a romantic attachment to Mexico in her late teens, idolizes Frida Kahlo, and tries lamely to learn Spanish. While visiting Mexico in her early 20s, she meets a guy named Harry, an American blueblood with an expensive education. He's moving to Mexico to slack and to do nothing but follow in the footsteps of Kerouac and Burroughs. 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 42 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $4.95.
