Preview Safari Honeymoon By Adventure Time's Jesse Jacobs, Coming In May

Safari Honeymoon by Jesse Jacobs, is debuting in May from Koyama Press. This "psychedelic sojourn" is truly odd, and therefore, almost certainly makes for good comics. Logic twists and turns, and narrative is partly what you make of it. The book takes underwater worlds and mountainous above-ground realities and blends them into a mind-twisting mixer as we loosely follow two characters through their own encounters with strange creatures, their own challenged perceptions of reality, and gradually become quite certain that the denizens of this world are the as much the real focus of the narrative as the "human" safari-goers. Of course, there's more mystery to come, as they discover their own part in the madness…

Koyama describes the book thus:

Join a pair of young newlyweds as they descend deep into a mysterious forest, encountering unknown creatures and unimaginable landscapes. Amongst the unusual flora and fauna, they discover within themselves something more strange and terrible than any sight their safari has to offer. Safari Honeymoon is a tale of jungle love and jungle madness.

The writer and artist, Jesse Jacobs, has a history of the delightfully weird through his work on the cartoon Adventure Time, so didn't we expect him to toy with our perceptions of reality? And if there hadn't been strange creatures, comics would have felt left out.
