Here¹s Plympton¹s next feature-length animated movie in preparation: a goofy take-off on Œ50's teen horror movies replete with bouffant hairdos and dead teens returning as avenging skeleton zombies! The local soda jerk manager relates the tale of Cheri and Spud, the most unlikely couple you can imagine. One is the queen of the prom, the other a nerd who screws up on her so bad he has to become her slave. With more lunatic reversals than you can shake a Œplymptoon¹ at, it turns out Cheri gets closer to Spud and loses her football hero boyfriend but with rather tragic consequences. Don¹t miss this graphic novel premiere of Plympton¹s next feature!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Plympton's nonstop-metamorphosizing animation is one of the crowning delights of independent animated film, and his determination to make his cartoons pretty much by his lonesome ensures high quality control: you see what he wants you to see. Unfortunately, independent animation distribution is spotty; Mutant Aliens (2000) presented continuity sketches for a feature film that, three years later, few have actually seen. Fortunately, Plympton's wackiness comes through strongly in storyboard form, so take in his new feature film via this book, and pray that the movie-distributing powers-that-be send it your way (double bill with Mutant Aliens--OK?). The story belongs to the high-school romance genre, with the brainy new kid, before his first day of school properly begins, falling afoul of the ruling football hero and being sentenced to be the big jock's girlfriend's "slave"--and DON'T fall in love with her! (Well, do, 'cause then jocko will have the pleasure of murdalizing you.) Guess what? Showing no compunctions about offing even major characters, Plympton blows a ton of high-school cliches into the stratosphere. Ray Olson
