Sean's there to promote an All-Star Schnauzer Band–organized songwriting contest, which he does enthusiastically and at the expense of Stroppy's livelihood, home, and face. Hoping for a cash prize, Stroppy submits a work by his friend Clancy the Poet. Mishaps and hilarity ensue, and Stroppy is forced to go deep into the heart of Schnauzer territory to rescue his poet friend.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eStroppy\u003c\/i\u003e is Bell's triumphant return to comics; it's also his first full-length graphic novella, one that thrums with jokes, hashtags, and made-up song lyrics. Densely detailed not-so-secret underground societies, little robots, and heavyweight humdingers leap off the page in full color. With \u003ci\u003eStroppy\u003c\/i\u003e, Bell continues to explode the divide between fine art, doodling, and comics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050109092080,"sku":"9781770462052","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770462052_p0.jpg?v=1763706647","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770462052","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
