2nd Edition. "The Bobwar" (Geiselic Proverbs and "Relativity") By Donna Barr. When Stinz was a young colt, he went to live with a mean-tempred uncle, who decided to update his farm with a bale of barbed wire. Stinz keeps his mouth shut about how his uncle disposed of the dangerous wire, and his lapse comes back to haunt and hurt his own son. Children have their own legends, and the grown-ups very seldom are privy to their folklore. More sayings of the Geiselthal, with illustrations -- and how exactly to trace half-horse bloodlines (take notes -- and some Aspirin).

Donna Barr is one of the comic worlds most unique talents. She has constructed a fully realised fantasyscape to tell her stories and tells them through a style and voice that are definitely one-of-a-kind. Using an idealised Bavarian agricultural landscape as her starting point, Barr has been taking good-natured pot-shots at humanity with an affable centaur soldier-turned-farmer and his family, since 1986 when she adapted characters from her own book into the lead strip in Eclipse Comics fantasy anthology The Dreamery.The stories here, mostly printed from her postings on www.moderntales.com, occur in a universe that has expanded enormously from the simple life in the idyllic Geisel Valley. Stinzs world has bloomed into a full blown tapestry of drama, politics, war and wild adventure, and the characters have aged accordingly. Now Read This!
