See-Saw - Sara Edward-Corbett: This is the most genius comic I've ever read to use "fartknocker" in almost every other strip. See-Saw plays out the schoolyard antics of four little kids- Chuckie, the bully; Georgie, the brainy wuss; Olga, the shy girl; and Meals, the girl with the inexplicable crush on Chuckie. The strip balances the kids' fears, insecurities, and understanding of the world around them with a childish crass streak, resulting in either really funny social commentary or hilarious fart jokes. The book itself is a beautiful silkscreened & hand-sewn work of art, and comes with a fortune teller tucked in the back. Worth every cent.
