description: "Stearn is an exceptional artist whose work is far too seldom seen." -- The Comics JournalTed 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
