Overbite

by Dave Cooper

This book also doubles as the sixth "issue" of Cooper's ongoing comic book series, Weasel, though as a stand-alone hardcover art book it bears little relation to the first five issues; it functions much better as a catalog for upcoming and recent exhibitions of Cooper's in Philadelphia, Ottawa, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.



The book features an introduction by David Cross, of HBO's Mr. Show fame.
