Larrybear is a simple young woman who appreciates the basic things: arts and crafts, family discord, the love of her irresponsible talking guitar, and tons of beer. Perhaps leaving town for a while will solve her problems? Not really, but it makes for plenty of whimsically misanthropic character comedy. Stein’s ever-shifting visual style is part underground, part fairytale, always inventive. Magazine-size, newsprint. Note, Fantagraphics has published a collected book of issues 1-4.
