This almost silent comic tells the story of an amateur alchemist and getaway driver for a bank heist. When the holdup goes wrong, he finds himself with a bag full of hot cash, orders a build-your-own homunculus kit, and goes on the run.

An absurdist, psychedelic crime fantasy / graphic novella from an acclaimed artist and printmaker. The Astounding Magnus has been hypnotizing audiences at the Feedbag cocktail bar with his resplendent dancing dog act, Salome, and her 'Serpentine Dance of the Seven Veils.' Yet despite his success, the pearl of life has lost its luster for Magnus. He visits the psychologist, Dr. Silkini, who promises to massage Magnus's id into a higher dimension: the pearly gates of full life satisfaction. Meanwhile, Salome's crowd-pleasing performances have attracted unwanted attention from sinister forces who want to know the dog's secret.
