Cyclopedia exotica  Cover Image Book Book

Cyclopedia exotica / Aminder Dhaliwal, color by Nikolas Ilic.

Dhaliwal, Aminder, (author, , illustrator.). Ilic, Nikolas, (colorist.).

Summary:

In Cyclopedia Exotica, doctor's office waiting rooms, commercials, dog parks, and dating app screenshots capture the experiences and interior lives of the cyclops community; a largely immigrant population displaying physical differences from the majority... Through this parallel universe, Dhaliwal comments on race, difference, beauty, and belonging, touching on all of these issues with her distinctive deadpan humour steeped in millennial references. Cyclopedia Exotica is a triumph of hilarious candor.
