Leaving Richard's Valley by Michael DeForge

4.0

A personality cult among cute animal creatures in the forest; eventually a small crew escapes to the big, less pretty, but more free city outside of Richard's grasp. I'm reading Birds of Maine right now, which is more ambitious and a bit harder to follow but shares the same interest in utopian visions and failures, though it doesn't challenge our own capitalistic present as directly.

I love the black and white of these strips. The spiders are impossibly adorable and it makes sense when one of them becomes a hand model.
