The Cartoon Art Museum and Manic D Press are pleased

to celebrate the release of Pet Noir: An Anthology of Strange But True Pet

Crime Stories on Tuesday, December 5, 2006, from 7:00-9:00pm. This special

event is free and open to the public.

 

Approximately 124 million dogs and cats live in U.S. households‹nearly one

pet for every two Americans. It¹s official we love our pets‹but like

every love affair, our relationship with our four-legged friends has a dark

side.

 

Pet

Noir: An Anthology of Strange but True Pet Crime Stories,

Edited by Shannon O'Leary forthcoming from

Manic D Press

 

The notorious San Francisco

deadly dog mauling. The infamous Petaluma

cat lady. The heartbreaking saga of Leo

the Bichon-Frisé's untimely demise at the hands of a

savage road-raging lunatic. Yes, these stories all made headlines around the

world, and now Pet Noir: An Anthology

of Strange but True Pet Crime Stories explores what

happens when our affairs with animals become dangerous liaisons. Conceived and

edited by Shannon O'Leary, and drawn by today¹s finest comic book artists, this

innovative, compassionate illustrated anthology sheds fur on some of the most

peculiar animal offenses in recent headlines and examines our individual

relationships with animals in true stories of oddly humorous and heartbreaking

personal pet crimes.

 

A portion of the profits from the sales of Pet

Noir will be donated to the Animal Legal Defense Fund,

which protects and advances the interests of

animals through the legal system.
