A bizarre and totally engaging mash-up of graphic design, comics, Gothic fiction, and low comedy, Pascal Blanchet's Baloney is a fable for our time, told in three colors and sung in a minor key. Follow the heartbreaking story of small-town butcher Baloney — named for "the saddest of all meats" — his blind, one-legged, one-armed daughter, and the handsome tutor who might sweep her away.

Vulture's Comics Page is proud to present an exclusive eleven-page excerpt from Pascal Blanchet's inventive and ridiculous graphic novel Baloney, out this month from Drawn and Quarterly.
