If you like your comic strip characters cute and cuddly, you’’ll hate Dry Shave. Dry Shave cracks open a hardboiled world of laconic lowlifes, pugnacious palookas, shiftless grifters and demented dames - with a tip of the pork-pie hat to Robert Mitchum. As featured in Vancouver’’s The Georgia Straight and Toronto’’s eye weekly magazine, Rod Filbrandt’’s wacky cast of noir characters is brought together in his first collected edition.Praise for Dry Shave:“Dry Shave is highly recommended for the coffee tables and toilet tanks of sophisticates of a certain sensibility… " (The Vancouver Sun)“Dry Shave is something that I’’d recommend to the serious graphic novel reader. It’’s that intense.” (Broken Pencil)Praise for Wombat: The Collected Comic Strip by Rod Filbrandt:“Running from the mid ‘’80s until 1994, Wombat showcased Rod Filbrandt’’s wry and jaded views on modern society and his incredible growth and progression as a cartoonist. … a great representation of the formative years of one of the best cartoonists this country has produced.” (Broken Pencil)
