Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children #21

From Piranha Press's offbeat Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children anthology comes this 1991 one-shot gem by Dave Louapre and Dan Sweetman — "Dances with Cows." Sweetman's cover art is delightfully absurdist: two bovines, rendered in loose, expressive pencilwork, share an intimate slow-dance embrace, one clutching a single red rose with tender earnestness. It's the kind of image that's equal parts charming and wonderfully strange, perfectly in step with the series' reputation for stories that find the human — or apparently bovine — heart in unexpected places.
