Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

“It’s hilarious and terrifying . . . smart and silly. The constant barrage of puns is brilliant. . . . Some of
the drawings are just deeply hilarious . . . Such darkness and such lightness, so edifying and so absurd!”
a ison bechdel, Fun Home and Are You My Mother?

“She is just as steeped in the cartooning tradition as she is in analytic lore. . . . Boxer belongs to the line of
erudite, intellectual cartooning exemplified by Jules Feiffer, David Levine and Edward Gorey.”
jeet heer, The Comics Journal

“So many different glittering facets—of humor, real emotion, education in psychoanalytic theory, and criticism
of psychoanalytic personalities like Freud and Klein  . . . Totally hilarious.”
austin ratner, The Jump Artist
