Schappi #[nn]

Anna Haifisch's cover sets an immediately charming and slightly surreal tone: a round, orange, beak-nosed creature peers out from inside an oversized tin can labeled "Schappi," its stubby arms wrapped around the rim above a bed of small green objects. The bold green background and graphic simplicity give the image a warm, pop-art energy that feels distinctly Haifisch. This 2022 Fantagraphics release promises the kind of deadpan, tender strangeness that makes her work so genuinely appealing.
