In the Floyd Archives: A Psycho-Bestiary

by Sarah Boxer, Margaret Bauer (Designer)

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.

Reviews

[☆]

A fluffy Freudian farce that is, in the typically Harvardian fashion, so bloated with obscure references that it loses all semblance of meaning.

[Audrey]

this so far a very funny book to me but it is a little weird in the beginning but you get use to it!i liked it a lot! my mom says that i should read more regular book ya'know the books theat have more words than pictures or no pictures but i can't help it i love to read manga and graphic novels like this one!!!!



BIG RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[talyahbasit]

One gets the sense that it is not so much a "tribute" to Freud than a sly, slightly derisive take on some of his most famous cases.

[Courtney Dantzler]

a cute book for the freud enthusiast. i understood only about half of the obscure references to his work, but other than that, it was an enjoyable book.

[Frederick Bingham]

An adult cartoon book. It did not interest me.
