Bee is a new full-color cartoon strip for alternative newsweeklies. Bee (a plucky and insatiably curious young woman) works as a photo-finishing technician in a one-hour lab in lower Manhattan. To amuse herself, she duplicates -- for her own collection -- any titillating photos that happen to pass through her hands. When pictures of a naked corpse are left for processing, Bee's interest is piqued. New! Read the current installment of "Motel Art Improvment Service." Visit every Sunday for a new episode. Read the first thirteen episodes of Shutterbug Follies on a giant scroll! (warning: 2.4 megs! Low-powered users may wish to read the click-through version) Read about Bee's availability to alternative print newsweeklies!
