Boody. The Bizarre Comics of Boody Rogers #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Amazon of The Ozarks," Boody Rogers delivers a delightfully surreal tale where Slap Happy’s life takes a bizarre turn after receiving a monkey in the mail—just as the cosmic rays fading from Sparky begin to take effect, shrinking him and sending him into a tangled predicament in the primate’s fur. A standout entry in Rogers’ idiosyncratic comic series, this 2009 Fantagraphics release features all artwork and writing by Rogers himself, with the cover also drawn by him, capturing the story’s offbeat charm in full.
Teapot, a scout for the Brookdale Blue Sox, rolls into the quirky Possum Holler Junction with one mission: find the region’s greatest ballplayer, Babe Boone. What he discovers is a town full of oddballs, a legendary player with a penchant for the dramatic, and a game that’s less about baseball and more about the kind of absurd charm only Boody Rogers can deliver.
When Sparky’s cosmic-ray-induced entomological experiments go awry, his powers fade—leaving him stranded in the insect world he’s been observing. Now, he must navigate life from the ground up, literally, as a bug in a world where the smallest creatures rule.
In this delightfully absurd tale from Boody Rogers’ *The Bizarre Comics of Boody Rogers*, Slap Happy’s day takes a wild turn when a mysterious monkey arrives in the mail—just as the lingering effects of cosmic rays begin to fade, leaving Sparky shrunk and tangled in the primate’s fur. With deadpan humor and surreal charm, Rogers delivers another offbeat adventure where the ordinary quickly spirals into the ridiculous.
