Rabies Babies
I’m clearly getting way too cynical in my old age if I read a lighthearted story about a baby with rabies and am disappointed when that’s not what was actually happening all along. Spoilers! Or maybe I’m lying, or maybe Mary was lying in the comic. Still, after that excellent (and apparently hand-made) cover, I was looking forward to some baby mayhem. Things start off with a baby who has been left alone in the woods, a fact that is never explained (which makes it much funnier). An ominous shadow approaches and it turns out to be a raccoon… who quickly befriends the baby and they have a very nice afternoon together. The parents (represented by pairs of legs, like all good parents in comics or cartoons should be) eventually remember that they have a baby in the woods and come to pick it up, and the trouble begins when they blindly drop the baby off at daycare. She finishes things off in a way that is probably a good defense against people who would call her a monster for even making a comic called “Rabies Babies,” but those are the types of people who will never be satisfied anyway. If nothing else this is worth buying just to leave it lying around your apartment for the horrified gasps you’ll get from any recent parents, but it doesn’t hurt a bit that there’s also a funny (if short) comic in here too. No idea on price, but contact Mary and I’m sure she’ll lead you through it.
