In a genre especially known for being dominated by straight white men, Juicy mother is an alternative to alternative comix. The collection places emphasis on the voices least represented in the comic world. As such, the stories within are exceptionally exuberant and carefree; they are a celebration.

Juicy Mother showcases comics by such well-known cartoonists as Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For), Howard Cruse (Wendel, Stuck Rubber Baby), Diane DiMassa (Hothead Paison), Ariel Shcrag (Definition, Potential) Ivan Velez, Jr. (Tales of the Closet, Blood Syndicate), Robert Kirby (Curbside) and Joan Hilty (Bitter Girl). Included also are some amazing new discoveries and some exciting writer/artist teamups.
