EAT DAT features 18 food-inspired stories by Uglydoll Creators Sun-Min Kim and David Horvath, Travis Nichols, Ian McGinty, Phillip Jacobson, and guest artists Joe Ledbetter and Dave Cooper.
“Uglydoll fans know that food--especially cookies and candy--features pretty prominently in the Uglyverse so the food theme in UGLYDOLL: EAT DAT! was a lot of fun to play with,” says Traci Todd, Senior Editor, Perfect Square. "Do Uglydolls ever eat their vegetables? You'll just have to pick up EAT DAT! to find out!” David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim are renowned for creating the world of Uglydoll. Inspired by a love letter David drew for Sun-Min, Uglydoll began as a line of handmade plush dolls and has since grown into an evergreen, multi-million dollar brand loved internationally by fans all ages. Their works can be found around the world, from the MOMA in Tokyo and the Louvré in Paris, to the windows of the Uglydoll shop in Seoul. Based on a vision to build a world that showed the whimsical twists and turns that make people unique, both inside and out, and to demonstrate how “ugly” means unique and celebrating who you are is the new beautiful. This Uglydoll comic is also inspired by some of Sun-Min and David’s personal heroes from the pop art and comic art world.
