Another graphic novel we found at QCon is Dogs On Dates, written and illustrated by Luke Healy. We’ll let him explain it: “Bernie — a confident, chill, and world-wise gay, trans, short Seth Rogen type — is fresh from telling his college advisor that he’s dropping out of art school. Absentmindedly, he walks into a plate glass window, bashing his face. Before he can even formulate gratitude for the window not breaking… Brad — a sweet-natured, kindhearted romantic, who is not cool, but nice, which is actually better — arrives at the school for a gig to teach students about the merits of caring for the environment. Dressed as an earth mascot, “Earthy,” he walks into the glass from the other side. But this time, it smashes. In totality. With Bernie and Brad off to the hospital together, is this the gay dog meet-cute we’ve all been searching for? Of course, dating is never so simple. Hilariousness and awkwardness ensue as our two love dogs face misadventures, mishaps, and missteps… but also flowers, pasta, sandwiches, and maybe even love.” And you can follow along, in paperback from Drawn & Quarterly.

Recently discovered at QCon: Plain Jane and the Mermaid, a new-ish graphic novel by Eisner Award winner Vera Brosgol. “Jane is incredibly plain. Everyone says so: Her parents, the villagers, and her horrible cousin who kicks her out of her own house. Determined to get some semblance of independence, Jane prepares to propose to the princely Peter. It’s a good plan! Or it would’ve been, if he wasn’t kidnapped by a mermaid. Jane must venture underwater to rescue her maybe-fiancé. But the depths of the ocean hold beautiful mysteries and dangerous creatures. What good can a plain Jane do? Drawn into an unexpected bond, Jane must navigate a shifting reality where magic and danger intertwine, and where every choice carries weight. As she moves between two worlds, she begins to question what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to risk to find it.” Did we mention the talking seal? We should. Plain Jane is available in paperback from First Second. There’s a detailed review over at Comics Beat, too.

Their Bark Is Worse…

When we say that an anthropomorphic character can be anything, we stand behind that. Just look at what we found at WonderCon… Birch is a violent action/adventure/comedy comic book series from Chris Levine, Michael Levine, and Pristianuli. It’s a visual novel too. “After World War Three, the last survivors of humanity scattered into tribes, fight over what little clean water remained. They thought the fallout had only killed the planet — they were wrong. The radiation changed the trees: They could think. they could speak. They could fight. Now, as humans hunt them for the resources inside, a resistance has formed in the shadows. Its last hope is Birch.” Visit their web site to find out more.

More non-human superhero shenanigans in the eXpets series of graphic novels by Mark Tatulli. “Bosco the dog loves being a house pet, loves his comfy dog bed and nice big house and, of course, his favorite toy kitty. So when two burglars break in, Bosco defends his home with all his might, which includes releasing some well-timed—and near supersonic—stink that repels the would-be thieves. With his foes in retreat, Bosco thinks it’s all over…until a robot descends from the sky. The flying robot delivers Bosco to the city and tells him that, due to his unusual ‘abilities’, he’s been chosen to become one of the eXpets, a team of superheroes with extraordinary abilities who team up to solve problems of all sizes. Bosco would be joining a turtle mastermind, a laser-eyed kitty, Wonder-Guppy, and Ginormous Gerbil. The mission? Rescuing the world’s kittens, who have all gone mysteriously missing. Bosco isn’t sure he’s all that extraordinary and certainly doesn’t enjoy tasks with a lot of pressure. But…how can he turn his back on kittens?!” Find out more at Simon & Schuster.

Check out The Froggy Library, a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Julie Fiveash. “Anura is a young frog spending the summer back home with their grandmother. With some…er…gentle prodding from Grandma, they get a job working at the local library. It’s about 11 minutes in when they’re tasked with a big project: Create an archive that captures what makes Soggy Stump so special. What the heck even is an archive?! And so begins a summer full of fry bread, weaving, zines, community gardens, manga, and (maybe) an answer to the question of: How do we preserve the knowledge, wisdom, and memories of the ones we love?” This semi-autobiographical story is a celebration of indigenous communities, gender fluidity, and of course libraries.

Goat Magic is a “new fairy tale” graphic novel, written and illustrated by cartoonist Kate Wheeler. In the Kingdom of Capeya there lived a goat-herder named Trill. She had a unique, magical ability to communicate with the herd under her care. But she was bored with her life, as what she really wanted was to be a wizard and work some real magic. Also in the Kingdom lived Princess Alya, heir to the throne. What she really wanted was to be anything other than a princess. But then an assassination attempt leaves Alya with a terrible curse: Every sunrise, she transforms into a black goat. Running off to hide in the countryside, Alya discovers that Trill’s magical gift might just be the thing that could break the evil spell. Want to know more? Visit Oni Press and find out!
