"A touching, memorable dog tale bound to connect with animal lovers, graphic novel readers, memoir fans, and anyone intrigued with how pets and their owners reflect and sustain one another." -- Lambda Literary " Fetch is beautiful. Georges's artwork is inviting and frank as she tells a touching story of companionship and personal growth. A dog pack of two, she and Beija form a special bond, a friendship that hits home." -- Shelf Awareness "This book is an homage to classic zine aesthetics that captures an incomparable friendship. An honest, moving portrayal of the essential bond between humans and animals." - STARRED Publishers Weekly "Touchingly, beautifully conveyed. Part grief memoir, part coming-of-age story, part feminist manifesto, this well-written, splendidly illustrated title.
will stir the hearts of misunderstood riot grrrls, owners of unruly canines, and LGBTQ readers." - STARRED Library Journal "Nicole Georges makes my favorite art about love and vulnerability. More than a tribute to a canine best friend, Fetch maps Georges's journey from teen to adult with heartbreaking honesty and tender joy. I am in awe of Georges's uncanny ability to transport me right into her world of moldy crusty punk houses and glorious vegan lesbian barbecues. Funny, gorgeous, and true." -- Jill Soloway , creator of Transparent "From feral child to leader of the pack, Nicole Georges comes to know a thing or two about dogs, and incidentally, about herself. Her luminous, lyrical drawings of animals are charged with strange insight, and add a potent nonverbal element to the narrative of Georges' youth. Fetch combines the best qualities of diary comics--particularity and granular detail--with the zoomed out view of someone who has completed an arduous, mythic, and expansive journey.
" -- Alison Bechdel , author of Fun Home and Are You My Mother? "Nicole's work always punches me in the guts with her unending longing for a home. Through constant disappointments and the challenges of owning a rescue dog and a rescue heart, she unflinchingly refuses to quit. A magical world so full of tenderness it might just break you, it's a place I love to visit and rarely want to leave. I want Nicole to draw the whole world, but her hands would fall off." --Sarah Shapiro , co-creator of Unreal.
