A standalone sequel to the popular graphic memoir, Penny , this vivid graphic novel centers on housecat heroine Penny's relationship with her sister, Pepper—and the delicately solipsistic inner world they share with each other. As she is prone to do, Penny the housecat spends her days lazing around the apartment and musing philosophically. However, her peace is rudely disturbed when she is forced to contend with the existence of her little sister, Pepper. What follows is one part wry, immaculately watercolored cat gags, one part visionquest. Here, acclaimed graphic novelist Karl Stevens blends the quotidian life of a housecat with an epicly psychedelic journey of self-discovery and the profound art of making peace with yourself.
