"Stearn is an exceptional artist whose work is far too seldom seen." — The Comics Journal Ted Stearn is a New York cartoonist/animator who is currently a mainstay at MTV Animation, his credits including Beavis and Butthead and Daria . Fuzz and Pluck—his first book collection—documents the hilarious and existential adventures of a rather annoyed plucked chicken and a dull but lovable bear. Originally serialized in the leading alternative comics anthology Zero Zero, Fuzz and Pluck features ten new pages of never before seen material (including a parody of Cervantes' Don Quixote ). Fuzz and Pluck is a picaresque romp through a surreal world that continually thwarts our protagonists' attempts to live simply and peacefully. "Ted Stearn's farcical tale of a struggle for survival is as cruel as it is funny, as absurd as life itself. This is a remarkable, beautifully drawn book by one of my favorite artists." — David Mazzucchelli, Rubber Blanket " Fuzz and Pluck is like Luis Buñuel, Samuel Beckett, Lewis Carroll, and Abbott and Costello having a circle jerk in Ted Stearn's brain." — Kaz, Underwater "Ted Stearn's Fuzz and Pluck possess more life and humanity than most humans. Plus, they are ursine and foul and artfully hatched." — Gary Panter, Jimbo " Fuzz and Pluck is a highly qualified addition to the Fantagraphics roundtable of `Haute Couture." — Chris Ware, The ACME Novelty Library
