The Suit

The Suit is a graphic novel written and drawn by Mike Kazaleh, it was published by Mu Press December 1995. Set on a slightly futuristic Earth, the story focuses on Arthur Fang, the son of anthropomorphic canine immigrants from the planet Anubia, and his efforts to hold onto a respectable white collar job despite the prejudice and cruelty of his human co-workers. Forced to undertake a business trip to his home world, Arthur is horrified by the "primitive" customs of the Anubians, and fears above all else "going native." There's a striking contrast between the form and content of this graphic novel: Kazaleh's elegant, economical brushwork, often at the service of "zany" cartoon imagery, is here employed in a powerful allegory about racism and the internalised self loathing that can take hold in its victims. Thank you to whoever scanned this at 300dpi back in 2009 ;3
