<DIV><P>IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE HUMOROUS, FRENETIC WORLD OF NONSENSICAL WORDPLAY AND TALKING HOT DOGS<BR><I><BR>Pure Pajamas</I> collects Marc Bell's best material from his syndicated weekly comic strip for the <I>Montreal Mirror </I>and the <I>Halifax Coast, </I>as well as a host of anthologies such as <I>Kramers Ergot</I>, <I>Expo</I>, <I>Maow Maow</I>, and more, featuring his recurring characters Kevin, Ol' Simp, Chia-Man, Mr. Socks, and Shrimpy and Paul. Throughout <I>Pure Pajamas</I>, Bell creates symbiotic relationships within his fantasy ecosystems, drawn in a rubbery big-foot style. Reminiscent of the sixties comics of R. Crumb but with a kind of bemused detachment in place of Crumb's ire, Bell addresses the big issues of what it's like to live in today's world.</P></DIV>
