<p>Teratoid Heights realistically depicts the lifecycles of various species found in the tide location's cave-riddled terrain, down to the most painstakingly detailed behavioral patterns. It matters not that both Teratoid Heights and its inhabitants are entirely fictional. Brinkman taps into the zeitgeist of modern suburban America with what seems to be a mixture of J.R.R. Tolkein-style adventure, video-game inspired syncopation and an endless barrage of cable-television nature films all filtered through the reddened eyes of a marijuana-addled teenager. A book that reveals levels of humor and humanity no matter what age the reader. The author, Mat Brinkman (aka Matt Brinkman, Meerk Puffy, Mystery Brinkman, Brinkman, Brinkmangler, Mucid Cuspidor...) (b. 1973) is an artist and electronic musician from Texas. He was a creator of the Fort Thunder artist live-work space in Providence, RI. He recorded with the bands Mindflayer and Forcefield, who performed at the 2002 Whitney Biennial. In 2000, his Teratoid Heights comic was published by Highwater Books. Through his anonymous and pseudonymous works, he, like Bruce Conner and Marcel Duchamp before him, seems to be concerned with issues of artistic credit and its relation to artistic output. His musical performances have incorporated aspects of circuit bending and drum and bass.</p>

<p>Nine short stories from the cutting edge of comics. In the spirit of Art Spiegelman's legendary RAW magazine, editor Tom Devlin has handpicked nine of the best unknown cartoonists in North America to fill this visually stunning book. A cross-section of the underground scene, Coober Skeber showcases Highwater Books favorites like Ron Rege, Jr. (Skibber Bee-Bye), Greg Cook (Catch as Catch Can), Matt Madden, (Odds Off), James Kochalka (Tiny Bubbles, Kissers), Mat Brinkman (Teratoid Heights) as well as artists Pshaw (Vice magazine, Nickelodeon), David Gavril, Jim Drain (Fort Thunder), and Leif Goldberg (Fort Thunder). Each artist was given sixteen pages and two-colors, and the results are truly extraordinary. Marital infidelity, a farewell party, a nature documentary, fascination with a teen sex-comedy, philosophical musings, a hot rod race, and friendship are all tackled by masters of the art form in this Baedecker's of modern cartooning.</p>
