The Little General

What happens when three eighteen-month-old babies plot, scheme, and intrigue against each other? Funny, ironic, and entertaining, Mark Lerer's satirical graphic novel doesn't simply bemoan the tragedy of all wars--it shows how the damn things can get started in the first place.

Publisher Marketing: "Ridiculously fabulous. All the underlying messages are wonderful, especially today. One has to ask, 'Are all wars caused by adult raging babies?' A must read for all who see guns and uniforms as glamorous. The Little General may; give them insight into the absurdity of war." --Barbara Slate; (Barbie, Angel Love, You;Can Do a Graphic Novel) "The Little General has it all! War, romance, surrealism--and terrible-two tantrums! Enjoyed it immensely." --Craig Yoe; (Publisher, Yoe Books; Editor, The Unknown Anti-War Comics); "A charming tale...gentle but not whimsical, politically pointed but not didactic. The real star of the book is Lerer's appealing lifework. Highly recommended for lovers of humorous political cartooning.--Kent Worcester, (Arguing Comics) Publisher Marketing : What happens when three eighteen-month-old babies plot, scheme, and intrigue against each other?
