Using rural agriculture as a stepping-off point, he tackles climate change, small-town politics, psychedelics, mysticism, and friendship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAppleguy \u0026amp; Beefwood's rapid-fire dialogue and tightly wound humour is reminiscent of classic buddy comics as wide-ranging as Calvin and Hobbes or Mutt and Jeff. Van Tassel's wiry, delightfully jagged characters walk and talk as the world grows both physically and spiritually around them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis approachably hilarious take on the existential and esoteric distills the absurdities of the modern everyday into four panels with forthright wit and a discerning eye.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCedar Van Tassel\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Saline County, Kansas in 1999.
