Shiner

Plot

Shiner is a winding comic, with plenty of flashbacks and brain-damage induced daydreams; its basis is a conversation on a park bench between a kewpie doll looking character named Billy, and an anthropomorphic cat named Kat (wild, I know). The title of the book refers to the black eye Billy has given himself through mortification. Starting at this strange place, the book twists, turns, and pisses on your boots. It’s clear that Cowdry is taking the piss at his reader’s expense. How you feel about that will likely steer your reaction to the work.
