Holidays Unfolding: The Continuing Adventures of Rabbit and Kitty Boy

Get ready for the next thrilling installment of Rabbit and Kitty Boy, penned by Edward S. Louis, based on the wonderful enigmatic paintings of Kristy Deetz. In "Holidays Unfolding," our adventurous cavaliers wend their way through a reimagined calendar of traditional and not-so-traditional holidays, where dreams and reality quickly merge into one. Rabbit ventures beyond the safe confines of the artist's domain, leaving Kitty Boy in quite a lather, and the ensuing Holiday celebrations are anything but predictable! Kristy Deetz's intricate paintings are, as always, full of dark humor, visual puns, symbols and metaphors, with allusions to art history and spiritual conundrums. Once again, Edward S. Louis provides an engaging and thought-provoking narrative, asking lots of questions of our reluctant protagonists, as well as their faithful readers.
