Unicorns of Planet Earth

By Lauren Barnett. Published by Kilgore Books. 

Softcover, 28 pages, Colour, 2017. 

In her new comic, Barnett presents herself as 'unicorn scientist' and delivers 28 pages of hilarious/honest/sweet commentary about the behaviors and rituals of the modern unicorn.

As in her previous work, Barnett deftly uses comedy to tap on the fragile psyche of our time. We read her new book as commentary on the dangers of fantasy escapism. Sure, you can devote your life to unicorns -- or anything else -- but the world is still a tragic place. And that's funny.

Barnett walks the line between tragedy and comedy better than anyone we know, and - as always - we're ecstatic to put out one of her comics.
