A collection of stories from Israeli comic collective, Actus Tragicus. As usual, this group has produced an inventive and diverse collection, which can't help but bring the human condition to the front. Their stories of are of varying absurdity, but always manage to be darkly humorous.

We Are Seven by Batia Kolton - Visual interpretations of Wordsworth’s "We Are Seven," Irish folksong "Danny Boy," and "He’s the Greatest Dancer" by Sister Sledge.

Crumpet Ladies by Yirmi Pinkus – A series of bizarre stories about the existential state of old people, tied together by a story of the author’s aunt Gina’s humiliating search through the trash for her lost dentures.

Royal Sable by Mira Friedman - A Jewish furrier’s flight from Prague to Tehran during WWII, where a telephone call from the royal palace could spell extatic success or utter ruin, depending on one’s state of mind.

Pretenders by Itzik Rennert - A bitter taxi driver in need of a change, is forced to confront himself, and realized that there’s more to himself than he ever imagined. Personal Involvement by Itzik Rennert – A writer takes drastic measures when his characters refuse to go in the direction he wishes. ( )
