New at Casablanca ComicsTuesday, September 15, 2009Fantagraphics Fall Tour: Meet Hans Rickheit, creator of "The Squirrel Machine" Meet Hans Rickheit at Casablanca Comics in Portland on Wednesday, October 7 from 4-7 PM WHAT IS THE SQUIRREL MACHINE? A rodential ensnarement device? A mechanism for concealing one's guarded harvest? An anachronistic fable for the convulsion elite? A nugatory diversion for the subliterate? Situated in a fictive 19th Century New England town, two brothers, Edmund and William Torpor confront public scorn when they reveal their musical creations built from strange technologies and scavenged animal carcasses. Driven to seek a concealment for their aberrant activities, they make a startling discovery. Will they divine the mystery of THE SQUIRREL MACHINE? An immutably strange and haunting narrative that transcends known logics and presumptive dream-barriers. A distillation of Under-Brain beauty and madness. A dangerous object for the incautious. A revelation for the undernourished crypto-seeker . The virgin caress of unconsumated apocalypse. The unspeakable thing that YOU ALWAYS KNEW. Coming this Autumn from Fantagraphics Books. A meticulously rendered work of anti-logic by legendary obscurantist Hans Rickheit, the nebulous individual responsible for Xeric Award winning graphic novel CHLOE and the critically acclaimed CHROME FETUS COMICS series. Critics have described his work as being "languidly decadent," "startingly unique," and "a stomach-ache on paper." Come, situate yourself at the loading docks of the subconscious and fill your brainbag with sublime cerebral serenity! posted by Maine Comics Arts Festival # 3:42 PM
