"Hamlet: Prince of Pigs," a graphic novel with an all-animal cast, based on "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is the first volume in Sarah Boxer's Shakespearean Tragic-Comics series.

Anchovius Caesar: The Decomposition of a Romaine Salad, the second volume of the Shakespearean Tragic-Comics, is a remake of Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar. In this comic, many of the main characters are the key ingredients a Caesar salad. The star is a little fish named Anchovius Caesar. The Roman citizens, played by Romaine lettuce leaves, sway this way and that, cheering for Caesar one moment and for Brutus the next. The countrymen are crouton-men. Mark Antony is a mock anchovy, a sprat. As we know from Shakespeare and history, the salad state cannot hold. Numerous creatures - Brutus, a weasel, Cassius, a crocodile, Trebonius, a fluorescent Kaputar pink slug (a Triboniophorus), Casca, a deadly Cascabel rattlesnake, and a host of other killers - are on the loose! Anchovius must die!

In the Floyd Archives is a cartoon novel (with footnotes!) lightly based on Freud's famous case histories - the Wolf Man, the Rat Man, Dora and Little Hans. But in this wildly inventive comic, the analyst is a bird and his patients are animals too: Wolfman is a passive-aggressive wolf with identity issues, Rat Ma'am, an obsessive-compulsive rat, Lambskin a depressed lamb (or lambskin), and Bunnyman is paranoid.

Mother May I? is the sequel to the comic In the Floyd Archives. In this hilarious riff on the work of the child psychoanalysts Melanie Klein and DW Winnicott, the stars are Melanin Klein, a small black sheep who adores talking about ta-tas and widdlers, plus her three kids - Melittle Klein, a bitter kitten, Little Hans, a violent bunny, and Squiggle Piggle, a pig whose tail creates pictures when pulled.
