Fuzz & Pluck in Splitsville
by Michael Vance
Fuzz is a cuddly bear. Pluck is a plucked chicken. Fuzz is reliable, hard working, quiet, and victimized. Pluck is erasable, defiant and victimized. Fuzz and Pluck are not characters in a children's book.
It isn't written like a child's book.
Fuzz and Pluck work at Lardy's, a dirty, fast food restaurant, as bus or delivery 'boys'. Their sordid lives take a turn for the worse as Fuzz is sent on a delivery and brutalized by a guard dog, and Pluck gets into a fistfight with an insulting customer. Pluck is fired from Lardy's only to be hired as a gladiator at a floating casino.
Is there hope for Fuzz and Pluck?
Despite the oddball and intriguing setting and talking animals, Splitsville is written as if Fuzz and Pluck live in this world. Dialog and characterizations are realistic. Most amazing of all, there is neither profanity, drug use nor graphic sex in a title that otherwise looks like an underground comic.
Splitsville isn't drawn like a child's book.
It is drawn with a scratchy, unsophisticated style that some readers will find interesting and others laughable. In fact, those who pick it up may put it back on the shelf because it looks like it is drawn "by a ten-year old on notebook paper". This quote came from my nineteen-year old daughter.
In short, Fuzz & Pluck is that most rare of all beasts, an original. And when something is original, it is either hated, loved or ignored. It is usually ignored.
Have you noticed, dear reader, how the words ignored and ignorant are very closely related?
Fuzz & Pluck is recommended for readers with an appreciation of the decidedly esoteric.
Fuzz & Pluck in Splitsville (1 of 4)/48 pgs. & $4.95 from Fantagraphics Books/art & story: Ted Stearn - available wherever comics are sold.

I have no idea what "rip fuzz" is supposed to mean, but it's on the sidewalk in front of Liz's apartment and it is endearing to me.
Zvex Fuzz Probe, got my the Vexter series because I'm a raging hobo (and I couldn't find many in the UK... ooh also I wanted the LED to tell if it's turned on and the funny port for the PSA 230es adaptor).
Squeally squeals and such. Don't think I'm going to have any built in fuzz factory guitars... just doesn't make sense man... just doesn't make sense.
But yeah, can play Plug in baby and a host of other fuzz related tunes. Pick up a bag today
