My Trip with Drip - by Josephine Mark (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Facing death leads to the most unexpected friendships: In the surprising German comic of the year, a foul-mouthed lone wolf and a toxic bunny set off together on an action-packed road trip.

The Wolf's Code says that if someone saves your life, you need to return the favor. And if a bunny rabbit plugged into an IV drip saves your life, you're in for a real adventure. The two unforgettable protagonists fight for their lives on every page. The two animals face trigger-happy hunters, scale frozen mountains, nab a motorcycle and set fire to a cabin. As Wolf nurses Bunny back to health, they stare down death with a fearless spirit that is both hilarious and touching. Praised for its subtle humor and inspirational "graphic medicine," My Trip with Drip began as a book about the author's own experience with illness, but became so much more: a triumphant story of courage, survival and friendship.

Winner of the Max and Moritz Prize
