Sean's there to promote an All-Star Schnauzer Band-organized songwriting contest, which he does enthusiastically and at the expense of Stroppy's livelihood, home, and face. Hoping for a cash prize, Stroppy submits a work by his friend Clancy the Poet. Mishaps and hilarity ensue, and Stroppy is forced to go deep into the heart of Schnauzer territory to rescue his poet friend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStroppy\u003c\/i\u003e is Bell's triumphant return to comics; it's also his first full-length graphic novella, one that thrums with jokes, hashtags, and made-up song lyrics. Densely detailed not-so-secret underground societies, little robots, and heavyweight humdingers leap off the page in full color. With \u003ci\u003eStroppy\u003c\/i\u003e, Bell continues to explode the divide between fine art, doodling, and comics.","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45355728830615,"sku":"9781770462052","price":1575.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781770462052.webp?v=1767671140","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stroppy-9781770462052","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
