About the book: Juicy Mother includes comix about an older butch dyke and her Lolita, an African-American gay man coming of age, an Arab Muslim dyke searching for her identity, two big hairy men getting married, a cynical Latina teen encountering aliens and a wild cartoon jam. In a genre especially known for being dominated by straight white men, Juicy mother is an alternative to alternative comix. The collection places emphasis on the voices least represented in the comic world. As such, the stories within are exceptionally exuberant and carefree.
About the author: Jennifer Camper's work can be found in comic books, magazines, newspapers, anthologies, museum exhibitions and on bathroom walls. Her books include Rude Girls and Dangerous Women, a cartoon collection, and subGURLZ, a graphic novel about three twisted women living in abandoned subway tunnels. She lives in New York.
