Part of: Tales of Woodsman Pete

See all formats and editions

From one of the bright new faces in the indie comix scene comes a collection of vignettes and stories about a solitary albeit gregarious woodsman with a loose grasp on his own personal history and that of the outside world. He forms relationships with his inanimate surroundings and muses to a dead audience, specifically his bear rug Phillippe. His own tales eventually become entangled with that of the legendary Paul Bunyan, and the two become indirectly intertwined, illuminating the discrepancy between the character of the storyteller and the character within his stories. The lives of both Paul and Pete encounter such things as the questionable origin of an ocean and the desire for preservation of everything from a fallen bird to an overused expression that has strayed a stone's throw from its original meaning.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When Monty Python was in bloom, John Cleese often got the biggest laughs standing still, blank faced, saying nothing. He didn't even need to be reacting. The funniest frames of Carre's stupefyingly droll stories, which feature either woodsy north-country he-man Pete and his best friend, Philippe the bearskin rug, or archetypal woodsy north-country he-man Paul Bunyan and his best friend, Babe the ox, frequently show Pete or Paul doing the same thing--nothing. Oh, once in a while, Pete might be waiting for the other shoe to drop. Babe is definitely the mental giant of the four protagonists. Carre's Wanda Gag-like drawing style is the perfect vehicle for her off-kilter imagination, which thrives in the knowledge that stereotypes of masculinity are so fundamentally foolish that it doesn't take much--a beautiful day, a work break, skipping stones on a lake, watching the moon--to expose their ridiculousness.
