The Book
Appleguy and Beefwood
A serial buddy comedy like no other from the mind of Cedar Van Tassel
Cartoonist Cedar Van Tassel has created the great new comic strip of the modern era: a perfect jewel in an underappreciated genre in the comics field—the serial buddy comedy. Using rural agriculture as a stepping-off point, he tackles climate change, small-town politics, psychedelics, mysticism, and friendship.
Appleguy & Beefwood’s rapid-fire dialogue and tightly wound humour is reminiscent of classic buddy comics as wide-ranging as Calvin and Hobbes or Mutt and Jeff. Van Tassel’s wiry, delightfully jagged characters walk and talk as the world grows both physically and spiritually around them.
This approachably hilarious take on the existential and esoteric distills the absurdities of the modern everyday into four panels with forthright wit and a discerning eye.
